PREFACE. 


The  early  proposition  for  the  celeln-ation  of  the  first  century  of  American  nationality  was 
simply  patriotic,  but  it  took  on  no  definite  ibrm.  As  the  people  grew  familiar  with  the  idea 
this  vagueness  drifted  into  the  shape  which  it  has  since  assumed.  Its  present  form  seemed 
the  best,  as  it  utilized  the  world's  selfishness  and  made  it  give  eclat  to  the  occasion.  We 
invited  all  peoples  to  exhibit  their  handiwork  and  products  here  among  our  millions  of 
customers  and  consumers,  and  they  accepted  our  proposition  and  did  come,  bringing  with 
them  their  inventions  and  tlieir  works. 

All  inventions  which  have  benefited  mankind  in  all  ages  had  their  origin  in  man's 
longing  for  comforts.  As  the  forests  fell  before  the  axe  of  civilization,  the  pick  and  shovel, 
aided  by  steam,  upheaved  the  coal  from  its  beds  Avhere  nature  had  stored  it  away  cycles  of 
ages  before ;  as  wheat  fields  replaced  the  felled  forests,  the  invention  of  steam-plows  and 
agricultural  implements  to  garner  the  fruits  of  the  earth  appeared ;  as  man  craved  inter- 
course with  his  fellow  the  world  around.  coiTespondence  became  a  necessity,  and  the  light- 
nings were  laid  under  contribution  to  unite  them;  and  as  civilization  advanced,  bringing  in 
its  train  a  taste  for  luxuries  unknown  in  ruder  days,  the  heavens,  earth  and  seas  were  ran- 
sacked by  the  scientific  and  plodding  to  gratify  it.  The  first  great  Exposition  of  the  world's 
industry  simply  developed  the  extent  to  which  man  had  advanced  in  economics  a  quarter  of  a 
century  ago,  and  incited  other  nations  to  emulate  the  English  in  their  adventure.  The 
displays  in  other  lands  which  followed  rapidly,  testified  to  the  same  dco'ro  for  com- 
forts and  luxuries ;  and  this,  the  latest  Exposition,  telling  the  same  story  in  t!ic  Western 
Hemisphere,  is  a  fitting  memorial  of  the  first  century  which  has  passed  over  tliese  United 
States.  In  the  various  buildings  dotting  the  Park  at  Fainnouut  may  be  seen  tlie  works  of 
art  and  usefulness  wliich  sprang  from  the  necessities  of  mankind,  and  taxed  inventive 
genius  and  mechanical  knowledge  to  contribute  to  their  enjoyment.  Necessity,  like  the 
great  central  engine,  which  the  hand  of  our  President  sent  wheeling  on  its  course,  moving 
the  machinery  through  all  tlie  extent  of  that  huge  hall,  has  brought  together  the  wise  men  of 
the  world  with  their  ofl'erings  of  "  gold  and  frankincense,"  to  lay  them  before  the  new  dispen- 
sation of  "  peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  men."  Our  mechanic,  as  he  wanders  through  the 
corridors  of  the  buildings,  may  learn  to  estimate  properly  his  works,  by  comparing  them  with 
those  of  other  lands.  While  it  was  most  proper  and  will  be  profitable  that  the  works  of  the 
world's  busy  artificers  and  artists  should  be  here  displayed,  the  initiatory  steps  for  a  fitting 
representation  of  the  unity,  extent  and  progress  of  the  '  Press"  were  not  taken  until  long 
after  the  inception  of  the  idea  of  a  suitable  commemoration  of  our  Nation's  natal  day.  All 
agree  that  the  Press  is  potential  and  useful,  and  it  was  believed  to  have  kept  pace  with  other 
industries,  bnt  none  thonglit  of  specially  exhibiting  it  in  its  entirety.  Its  scientific  magazines 
supplied  the  mental  pabulum  which  fed  the  genius  of  our  inventors  ;  its  records  of  vi(j^ories 
in  mechanics  and  useful  arts  have  inspired  others  to  experiment  and  efibrt  ;  its  illustrated 
journals  presented  to  every  citizen  at  most  moderate  prices  the  models  of  buildings,  tools, 
machinery,  and  whatever  else  was  deemed  desirable  in  this  direction.  It  was  elevating  in 
this  land  the  standard  of  taste  and  work,  and  building  up  as  its  reflex  the  schools  which 
abomid  in  our  country.  As  an  evidence  of  what  we  might  have  been  without  this  instru- 
mentality, it  may  be  well  to  point  to  nations  where  the  press  has  no  existence.  In  Egypt 
there  is  not  one  paper  printed  in  the  Arabic  language ;  some  few  there  are  in  French  and 
German,  but  not  for  the  Egyptians,  and  the  rudeness  of  the  work  of  the  general  people 
testifies  to  the  lack  of  popular  instruction  through  the  power  of  newspapers.  Track  the 
globe  around,  and  those  lands  will  be  found  most  highly  civilized  and  forward  in  catering  to 
their  people's  comfort  where  the  press  is  most  plentiful,  free  and  powerful.  On  the  banks  of 
a  beautiful  lake  glistening  between  the  Machinery  Hall  and  the  United  States  buildings 
stands  a  modest  house,  costing  but  little  in  money  and  small  in  extent,  yet  in  it  are  gathered 
every  newspaper  and  magazine  published  in  this  country. 

There  are  eight  thousand  one  hundred  and  twenty-nine  newspapers  published  regularly 
in  the  United  States.    The  combined  issues  of  all  the  other  nations  of  the  earth  do  not  equal 


PREFACE 


this  number.  An  exhibition  of  a  sample  copy  of  each  of  all  these  thousands  of  periodicals 
would  hardly  convey  an  adequate  idea  of  the  importance  of  journalism  in  this  country,  yet 
it  would  do  something  towards  that  end  ;  and  believing  that  it  would  not  be  practical  to 
attempt  more,  Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Kowell  &  Co.,  in  the  early  spring  of  1875,  addressed  the 
Centennial  Commission,  making  application  for  space  in  the  main  building,  estimating  that 
room  would  be  required  for  fifty  volumes  of  two  thousand  pages  each.  This  was  before 
the  departments  were  tlioroughly  organized,  and  no  response  having  been  made  to  their 
formal  application,  tlie  matter  waited  in  abeyance  until  September,  when  it  was  again 
brought  up  by  General  Joseph  R.  Hawley,  President  of  the  Commission,  and  au  exhibition 
was  finally  arranged,  as  set  forth  iu  the  following  correspondence : 

Geo  P  Rowell  &  Co.,  New  York  City,  Philadelphia,  Sept.  17, 1875. 

'  Gentlemen — Some  time  atro  I  made  a  memorandum  tiuit  I  must  Avrite  you 'concerning  an 
exhibit  of  the  American  newspaper,  that  wonderful  feature  in  American  civilization.  It 
seems  tome  that  an  exhibit  of  its  progress  during  the  ceuturv  and  its  present  condition 
would  be  exceedingly  interesting.  Could  every  existing  American  periodical  from  semi- 
annual down  to  daily'be  shown  ?  How  and  where  ?  Have  you  any  scheme  in  mind  ?  Can 
Tou  submit  a  plan  f    Can  you  come  here  and  talk  it  over  ?    Respectfully  yours, 

J.  R.  Hawley,  President  U.  S.  C.  C. 

Geo  P  Rowell  &  Co.,  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Sept.  20,  1875. 

Gentlemen  :—l  have  just  read  your  note  of  the  18th.  By  all  means  develop  the  project. 
There  ouo-ht  to  be  a  presentation  of  the  periodical  press  of  1776  and  1876.  *  *  * 

Do  not  forget  this  matter.  Hastily  yours,  Joseph  R.  Hawley.

glad  to  see  vou,  for  your  exhibition  ought  to  be  made.  The  American  newspaper  is  a  peculiar

sample  copies  of  everv  periodical  iu  the  United  States  has  been  placed  before  me  for  consid- 
eration. It  has  been 'suggested  that  such  au  exhibition  would  be  very  much  more  attractive 
and  interesting  if  an  outside  pavilion  were  provided  for  that  purpose.  *  *  *  * 
I  most  cordiallv  commend  this  suggestion  to  you,  with  the  hope  that  the  newspaper  interest 
of  the  country  will  join  in  providing  such  a  pavilion,  which  would  be  a  distinctive  feature  of 
the  Exhibition         *****

and  interesting  an  American  exhibit  as  we  sliall  have  on  the  grounds.        *        *        *        * 
Yours  truly,  J.  R-  Hawley. 

It  was  now  decided  to  attempt  a  much  more  comprehensive  display  than  had  first  been 
thought  of.  Instead  of  a  sample  copy  of  a  paper,  every  publisher  was  to  be  allowed  to  ex- 
hibit a  file  for  several  weeks  or  months,  and  in  place  of  being  bound  up  in  heavy  volumes 
it  was  arranged  that  every  paper  should  be  made  instantly  accessible,  and  the  exhibition 
thus  serve  the  additional  purpose  of  a  monster  reading  room  and  an  exchange  for  newspaper 


P  R  E  J^'  A  C  E 


About  this  time  Messrs.  Howell  &  Co.  received  a  coiTimiuiicatiou  from  a  well  known 
printer  (Peter  C.  Baker,  Esq.,  of  Xew  York),  who  has  devoted  much  time  to  the  interests  of 
the  craft.     He  writes  as  follows  : 

"  The  pamphlet,  job  and  ornamental  printers  will,  I  believe,  ver^-  g-enerallj  present  the 
best  specimens  of  their  work  ;  and  many  of  these  beautiful  productions  of  tviK)gra])hical  skill 
will  show  Avhat  rapid  advances  the  printer  is  making  toward  placing-  himself  by  the  side  of 
the  artist  and  engraver. 

"  But  what  is'the  Newspaper  and  Periodical  Press  doing  to  show  that  in  this  de])artment 
especially  our  country  surpasses  all  otlier  nations  of  the  Avtirld  ?  I  have  not  vet  learned  that 
any  positive  arrangements  have  been  made  to  dve  tangible  evidence  of  the  immensitv  of  the 
newspaper  and  periodical  interests  of  our  country,  and  therefore  I  very  respectfully  and  ear- 
nestly suggest  that  immediate  steps  be  taken  to  take  this  important  matter  in  charge,  and 
prepare  a  plan  by  which  a  copy  of  every  newspaper  and  periodical  published  in  the  United 
States  be  collected  and  shown  at  the  Centennial.  No  feature  of  the  exhibition  would  be  more 
effective  than  this  to  show  the  A\-orld  the  general  intelligence  of  our  people,  and  make  plain 
the  secret  of  the  success  of  our  republican  experiment." 

Other  communications  of  a  kindred  tenor  came  from  unexpected  sources. 
Being  thus  encouraged,  plans  were  perfected  ami  adopted.    A  prominent  position  was 
assigned  the  Newspaper  Pavilion  by  Director-General  Goshorn  on  Fountain  Avenue. 


The  above  engraving  represents  the  exterior.  The  following  descriptioii  first  appeared 
in  the  New  York  Sun  of  February  14t]i : 

"  The  plan  of  exhibition  is  an  alphabetical  arrangement  of  partial  files  of  eacli  newspaper 
or  periodical  in  such  a  manner  as  makes  them  instantly  accessible,  the  space  devoted  to  each 
bearing  a  label  with  the  name  of  the  publication  printed  thereon,  and  further  designated  by 
a  number,  by  means  of  which  a  stranger,  upon  reference  to  his  catalogue,  is  able  at  once  to 
approach  the  section  of  the  building  where  tlie  particular  journal  which  he  desires  to  examine 
or  refer  to  may  be  fouiuT. 

"The  eases  containing  these  files  form  alcoves  similar  to  those  in  public  lihraries  for  the 
arrangement  of  books,  these  alcoves  forming  long  tiers,  one  on  each  side  of  tlie  building, 
throughout  its  entire  length,  a  portion  of  the  space  between  being  reserved  for  the  accom- 
modation of  attendants,  leaving  a  passage-way  for  the  public  eighteen  feet  in  Axidth,  extend- 
ing from  one  end  of  the  structure  to  the  other. 

"  Tlie  second  stoi7,  approached  by  four  flights  of  stairs,  is  devoted  to  reading  rooms  for  tiie 
accommodation  more  especially  of  newspaper  men,  and  supplied  with  conveniences  for  cor- 
respondents." 

A  better  impree.^on  of  the  interior  arcluteetnre  mav  beol)tained  fnmi  tlie  followiiiic  Axrit- 


r  R  E  F  A  C  E 


KX3IBIT10H  BOOM. 


ten  after  im  cxiuniriation  of  tlic  plans  by  Gau,  tlio  accomplished  (but  deeidediv  (.•ritieal)  cor 
respoiulent  of  tlio  Xe'^v  York  Times,  in  its  issue  of  February  20tli : 

"  The  building  is  of  timber  and  A-ery  neat.  It  has  a  length  of  sixty-seven  feet,  witli  a  widtli 
of  forty-six  feet,  and  a  total  heiglit  of  thirty-three  feet.  From  the  exterior  it  appears  to  be 
in  two  stories,  but  the  centre  of  the  building  is  oidy  one  story,  and  is  a  very  fine  chamber, 

"^  witii  ample  light  and  space. 
The  whole  is  arranged  Tvith 
that  precision  and  mastery 
over  details  -which  have 
gained  for  Mr.  Rowell  hhs 
celebrity  as  a  buslLcss  man. 
The  alcoves  are  fairly  lighted 
by  -windows  -«hicli  occupy  the 
[  entire  space  between  them, 
so  that  there  is  no  difficulty 
in  obtaining  the  wished-for 
file  if  the  directions  furnished 
are  followed.  The  height  of 
the  side  chambers  Avhero 
these  alcoves  are  jilaeed  is 
eight  feet,  and  over  them  are 
1  the  writing  galleries,  where 
^  numerous  desks  are  placed. 
IN'othing  can  be  simpler  ov 
more  efficacious  than  this 
system,  Avliieh,  undoubtedly, 
IS  the  very  best  that  coidd 
have  been  devised.  The  gal- 
leries are  lighted  by  rows  of 
windows  corresponding  to 
•  those  in  the  alcoves  below, 
and  by  the  large  transom 
indows  at  each  end.  In  tlio 
facade  this  Avindow  is  set 
back  from  the  gable  roof 
about  five  feet,  and  a  very 
effective  ornamentation  of 
radiating,  incised  planking  is  introduced,  which  relieves  very  pleasantly  the  simplicity  of  tlie 
structure.  The  interior  is  perfectly  ventilated  by  a  large  lantern  roof,  and  therefore  the 
building  deserves  tlie  praise  of  being  thoi'oughly  lighted,  tlioroughly  ventilated,  and  of  being 
admirably  arranged  for  the  desired  purpose." 

The  cost  of  the  structure,  with  its  fittings  and  furniture,  has  not  fallen  sliort  often  thou- 
sand dollars,  Avliile  the  necessary  attendants,  books,  blanks,  together  Avith  tlie  compilation 
and  distribution  of  a  large  edition  of  a  three  liundred  page  catalogue,  require  another  allow- 
ance of  a  similar  amount.  In  tlie  mere  item  of  postage  more  tlian  twelve  liundred  dollars 
Avas  expended  before  the  opening  day  of  the  exhibition.  When  it  is  remeniliered  that  no 
less  than  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollars'  worth  of  stamps  are  required  to  communicate  once 
with  all  tlie  publishers,  the  rapidity  with  which  these  items  count  up  is  readily  comprehended. 
But  Avith  all  these  matters  Messrs.  Rowell  &.  Co.  had  abundant  experience.  Furtlier- 
more,  through  intimate  relations  with  the  press  of  the  country,  extending  over  a  period  of 
more  than  ten  years,  they  had  always  been  seconded  in  a  most  generous  manner.  Tliey 
were  tlierefore  fully  convinced  of  two  things  :  First,  that  their  efforts  would  be  appre- 
ciated by  publishers  to  such  an  extent  tliat  the  entire  expense  of  tl:e  exhibition  woidd  be 
returned  to  them  in  the  form  of  voluntary  subscriptions.  Second,  that  should  this  fail  en- 
tirely, the  exhibition  Avould  be  Avorth  its  full  cost  as  an  advertisement  of  tlieir  own  business, 
as  conductors  of  the  most  complete  newspaper  advertising  agency  in  the  Avorkl. 

In  their  application  to  publishers  to  send  their  papers  and  contribute  towards  tlie  enter- 
prise tiiey  made  the  following  pledge  : 

'  The  Exhibition  will  be  made  precisely  as  set  fortli,  even  if  tliere  slioull  not  be  a  single 
subscription  offered."

Events  have  shown  tliat  their  faith  in  tho  f,'-()od-will  and  iiiiellineiit  eo-operation  of 
publishers  was  not  misplaced. 

The  proprietors  of  leading  journals  responded  with  such  promptness  and  generosity  that 
they  may  be  said  to  have  themselves  assumed  the  cost  of  the  exliibition. 

An  opportunity  to  coutribute  to  the  money  expense  was  offered  only  to  Kepresentative 
Newspapers,  and  it  is  believed  that  among  tliose  of  prominence  wliich  liave  neglected  to 
respond  not  one  has  done  so  from  an  unfriendly  feeling  towards  the  enterprise,  but  mainly 
or  solely  from  the  pressing  call  for  an  economical  management  of  expenditures  which  the 
stagniition  of  business  for  two  years  just  past  has  made  so  loud  in  many  establishments 
deemed  prosperous. 

Xothing  but  good-will  has  been  evinced  from  the  beginning.  Xo  disparaging  word  has 
appeared  in  any  respectable  journal,  while  favorable  comments  have  filled  the  columns  of  the 
press  from  Maine  to  Oregon,  from  Florida  to  Texas. 

One  of  the  most  pleasing  features  has  been  the  handsome  manner  in  which  Messrs. 
Rowell  &  Co.  have  been  encouraged  by  their  brother  advertising  agents,  as  evinced  by 
the  following  extracts  from  letters  received  :

"We  are  pleased  to  learn  that  you  have  made  arrangements  to  erect  a  building  on  the 
Centennial  Exhibition  grounds,  in  which  to  keep  complete  files  of  the  newspapers  of  our 
country  for  the  use  of  the  public,  and  that  you  will  also  have  good  accommodations  for 
editors,  reporters,  publishers,  and  others  connected  with  the  press.  The  enterprise  could 
not  be  in  better  hands,  and  we  hope  and  believe  it  will  prove  a  great  success.

undertaking.    Notwithstanding  the  immense  number  of  the  exhibitions  of  skill  and  enterprise, 

such  a  building  as  you  propose  and  such  an  array  of  newspapers  as  you  suggest,  will  attract 

a  large  number  of  visitors.        *        *        *        *'      No  one,  I  think,'can  do"  this  thing  better.

I  know  of  no  one  more  competent  to  carry  out  the  arrangement  than  yourself)  and  it

New  York,  Feb.  28,  1876.        | 
Your  proposed  exliibition  of  American  newspapers  at  the  Centennial  not  only  deserves  to 
succeed  but  will  certainly  do  so,  because  you  are  a  good  man  to  have  it  in  charge,  and  be- 
cause you  will  surely  have  the  cordial  co-operation  and  good  wishes  of  all  persons  in  any 
wise  connected  with  the  newspaper  press. 

Yours  truly,  J.  H.  Bates. 

That  Philadelphia  agents  were  the  only  ones  not  joining  in  these  expressions  is  doubtless 
of  greater  apparent  than  real  significance. 

Americans  are  a  nation  of  newspaper  readers.  There  are  papers  for  girls  and  boys, 
for  teachers  and  taught,  for  trades,  arts  and  sciences,  for  the  lovers  of  the  wonderful,  the 
religious,  the  agriculturists,  the  metallurgists — in  a  word,  the  physician,  as  he  rides  to  the 
expected  birthplace  of  some  young  patient,  and  the  undertaker,  as  he  drives  to  the  house 
of  mourning,  must  each  have  his  paper  to  while  away  his  time.  The  opening  exercises  of  the 
10th  of  May  were  read  by  millions  in  every  part  of  this  land,  and  carried  to  distant  countries 
by  the  press  and  the  aid  of  the  telegram  it  called  to  its  use. 

Good  men  are  not  afraid  of  criticism  by  the  press.  It  makes  statesmen  and  unmasks 
hypocrites ;  it  incites  to  great  deeds  ;  it  brings  to  every  man's  door  the  record  of  progress 
made  in  every  department  of  learning  and  activity ;  it  develops  science,  and  whiles  away  the 
tedium  of  heavily  hanging  hours  It  fits  out  exploring  expeditions  to  discover  new  fields  for 
civilization ;  it  lays  before  its  readers  the  doings  of  the  world's  busy  multitudes,  the  fall  of 
empires,  the  uprisings  of  nationalities,  the  record  of  the  Storm-king's  progress  around  the 
world,  the  decisions  of  the  forum,  the  acts  of  governors  and  legislators  ;  it  tells  the  farmer 
what  to  plant  and  when ;  it  develops  the  latest  inventions  ;  it  weighs  in  the  nice  balance  of 
purity  of  motive  the  deeds  of  the  ruling  powers  ;  before  it  the  unjust  tremble,  and  on  its  pages, 
as  on  the  walls  of  the  ancient  banqueting  hall,  the  wicked  rulers  may  read,  "  weighed  in  the 
balance  and  found  wanting"  ;  it  stirs  the  heart  of  benevolence  to  greater  deeds  of  charity, 
it  inspires  the  desponding,  deters  the  plotters,  and  from  the  ruler  to  the  humblest  citizen,  it 
throws  its  Minervian  aegis  around  all  alike.  It  is  the  voltaic  pile,  where  is  contained  the 
vitalizing  power  of  a  universe.  In  this  little  Newspaper  Pavilion,  which  may  not  be  visited 
by  all  who  go  to  the  Ceuteimial.  are  deposited  the  thousands  of  papers- which  mould  Ameri- 
can sentiment.  At  Virginia  City  one  may  go  down  the  shaft  of  a  mine  which,  in  the  dark 
and  dismal  rocks,  is  pouring  out  constantly  a  stream  of  molten  silver  to  enrich  man.  Few 
will  venture  ijito  those  profound  depths  from  curiosity  alone,  but  the  men  at  work  keep  right 
along  turning  out  the  precious  metal  for  man's  delectation  and  their  own  profit. 

In  these  grounds  is  exhibited  a  nugget  of  silver  said  to  weigh  two  tons,  the  product  of  one 
of  those  mines.  Thousands  of  curious  men  and  women  are  drawn  about  it.  and  look  won- 
deringly  and  wistfully  upon  its  huge  form.  It  represents  to  man's  cupidity  just  so  much  of 
life's  happiness.  But  thieves  may  break  through  and  steal  such  treasures.  A  short  distance 
from  this  mass  of  metal  stands  the  modest  house  where  are  clustered  the  fruits  of  ten  thou- 
sand minds,  printed  so  plainly  that  a  wayfaring  man.  though  a  fool,  need  not  err  therein. 
"Who  thinks  of  the  toiling  thousamls  of  earnest  literary  men  and  women,  scattered  over  our 
states  and  territories,  who  waste  midnight  oil  in  preparing  that  mental  food  which,  enduring 
when  silver  and  gold  have  taken  to  them  wings  and  departed  never  to  return,  proves  to  be 
a  lasting  comfort  ? 

Newspapers  are  the  synonym  of  goodness  and  virtue,  however  much  some  men  may  affect 
to  despise  them.  It  was  a  labor  of  almost  infinite  trouble  to  gather  these  papers  from  all 
quarters,  but  the  work  is  a  great  success,  and  there  is  no  worthier  place  to  visit  than  the 

NEWSPAPEK  PAVILION.

Extract  from  XEW  YORK  TIMES,  June  ]4,  1875, 

Ten  years  ago  Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Eowell  &  Co.  established  their  Advertising-  Agency  in  New 
York  City.  Five  years  ago  they  absorbed  the  business  conducted  by  Mr.  John  Hooper,  who 
was  the  first  to  go  into  this  kin(i  of  enterprise.  Is  ow  they  have  the  satisfaction  of  control- 
ling the  most  extensive  and  complete  advertising  connection  which  has  ever  been  secured, 
and  one  which  would  be  hardly  possible  in  any  otlier  country  but  this.  They  have  succeed- 
ed in  working  down  a  complex  business  into  so  thoroughly  a  systematic  method  that  no 
change  in  the  newspaper  system  of  America  can  escape  notice,  'while  the  widest  informa- 
tion UDon  all  topics  interesting  to  advertisers  is  placed  readily  at  the  disposal  of  the  public.

A  SKETCH    FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


NEWSPAPERS  IN  1776. 


The  first  American  newspaper  was  printed  in  Boston,  Sept.  25, 1690.  It  was  issiied 
by  Richard  Pierce  and  published  by  Benjamin  IlaiTis,  and  was  intended  to  be  pub- 
lished once  a  month,  but  was  immediately  sui)pressed  by  tlie  authorities.  The  only 
copy  known  to  be  in  existence  is  in  the  State  Paper  Office  in  London,  The  Boston 
News  Letter,  publishedby  John  Campbell,  appeared  April  24, 1704,  being  issued  weekly 
until  1776.  It  was  followed  by  the  Boston  Gazette,  T>qq,.1\,\~V^,  and  by  the  American 
Mercurie,  issued  by  William  Bradford,  at  Philadelphia,  Dec.  22,  1710.  On  Aug.  17, 
1701,  James  Franklin,  elder  brother  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  established  at  Boston  the 
New  England  Courant.  Oct.  16,  1725,  William  Bradford,  the  founder  of  the  Mercurie  at 
Philadelphia,  began  the  publication  of  the  New  York  Gazette,  the  first  paper  issued  in 
that  city.  In  1728  Benjamin  Franklin  established  in  Philadelphia  the  Pennsylvania 
Gazette.  In  1754  four  newspapers  were  published  in  Boston,  two  in  New  York, 
and  two  in  Philadelphia.  The  Virginia  Gazette  was  then  printed  at  Williamsburg, 
having  been  first  issued  in  1736  by  William  Parks,  who  had  previously  given  to  the 
public  for  nine  years  tlie  Maryland  Gazette,  at  Annapolis.  In  1776  seven  journals 
were  published  in  Massachusetts,  one  in  New  Haiiipshire,  two  in  Rhode  Island,  four 
in  Connecticut,  four  in  New  York,  nine  in  Pennsylvania,  two  each  in  Maryland,  Vir- 
ginia, and  North  Carolina,  three  in  South  Carolina,  and  one  in  Georgia;  in  all  thirty- 
seven.  AH  were  weeklies,  with  the  exception  of  the  Advertiser,  of  Philadelphia, 
which  was  semi-weekly. 

NEWSPAPER  STATISTICS  IN  1876. 

By  the  "American  Newspaper  Directory"  for  the  current  year,  1876,  there 
appear  to  be  now  published  in  the  United  States  and  Territories,  738  daily,  70 
tri-weekly,  121  semi-weekly,  6,235  weekly,  33  bi-weekly,  105  semi-monthly,  747  monthly, 
13  bi-monthly,  and  67  quarterly  publications,  making  a  total  of  8,129  of  all  kinds. 

Of  the  journals  published  in  the  country,  the  State  of  New  Y'ork  furnishes  the 
largest  number.  Of  all  kinds,  New  York  State  prints  1,818;  Pennsylvania  follows 
with  738;  Illinois  is  third;  and  then  come  in  regular  order  Ohio,  Iowa,  Missouri  and 
Indiana,  all  of  which  outstrip  old  Massachusetts,  although  she  issues  nearly  350. 
Only  ten  States  print  as  many  papers  of  all  kinds  as  Califs  mia,  which  ranks  fourth 
m  the  mmiber  of  its  dailies.  It  seems  to  be  peculiar  to  thv  new  States  at  the  West 
that  they  sustain  daily  papers.  In  many  places  the  first  newspaper  established  will  be 
a  daily,  Avhile  in  the  old  towns  at  the  East  such  a  thing  was  never  heard  of.  Until 
within  one  or  two  years  Florida  has  never  had  a  daily  paper. 

At  the  present  day  it  would  seem  that  the  United  States  print  more  newspapers 
than  all  the  other  nations  of  the  world.  Their  growth  has  been  rapid  even  in  pro- 
portion to  the  increase  of  population.  In  1776  we  find  we  had  thirty-seven  papers 
and  three  millions  of  people.  Now  we  have  eight  tiiousand  papers  and  forty  millions 
of  people.  These  figures  shov*^  that  whilst  one  hundred  years  ago  we  printed  one 
newspaper  for  every  30,000  souls,  we  now  print  one  for  every  5,000.  This  can  be 
accounted  for  only  on  the  hypothesis  that  the  people  are  now  more  in  the  habit  of 
reading  than  formerly.  At  the  time  Independence  was  declared  probably  no  family 
took  more  than  one  paper,  while  now  many  take  several. 


172  NEWSPAPEE  DATA. 


NEWSPAPERS  DEFINED. 

A  newspaper  is  defined  by  Webster  to  be  "  a  sheet  of  paper  printed  and  dis 
feributed  at  short  intervals  for  conveying  intelligence  of  passing  events."  In  com- 
piling a  "Newspaper  Directory"  it  is  necessary  to  exercise  a  good  deal  of  care  to 
be  able  to  say  what  should  be  called  a  newspaper.  The  definition  given  by  Web- 
ster cannot  be  taken  as  an  accurate  description  of  the  present-day  newspaper,  for 
numbers  do  not  contain  any  news,  while  many  sheets  which  do,  are  not  considered 
newspapers.  All  the  amateur  publications,  for  example,  are  excluded,  though  the 
number  is  quite  large  of  those  printing  considerable  news;  and  many  sheets  devoted 
especially  to  advertising  the  business  of  some  man  or  firm  are  also  omitted.  On  the 
other  hand,  books  and  magazines— everything  published  at  regular  periods  not  ex- 
ceeding three  months— are  classed  as  newspapers. 

There  has  been  of  late  a  large  increase  of  what  are  called  "  class  papers."  It  is 
being  recognized  that  every  interest  must  be  supported  by  a  paper.  There  are  relig- 
ious papers,  agricultural  papers,  commercial  papers ;  those  of  a  financial,  insur- 
ance, masonic,  and  temperance  complexion,  and  so  on  through  the  whole  list  of 
interests  and  isms.  The  class  papers  in  many  cases  are  very  successful.  They  seem 
to  be  in  receipt  of  an  excellent  advertising  patronage,  and  for  the  obvious  reason  that 
they  are  taken  by  i)eople  to  whose,  interests  or  theories  they  are  specially  devoted, 
sothat  when  one  wishes  to  communicate  with  this  particular  class  they  are  far 
excellence  the  channels.  An  advertisement  in  the  Scientific  American  will  reach 
many  thousands  of  mechanics,  while  the  same  advertisement  in  an  ordinary  paper 
would  be  read  by  possibly  the  same  number  of  or  more  people,  but  by  fewer  mechanics. 
So  an  advertisement  in  the  American  BwiWer  might  reach  more  carpenters  than  one 
in  the  New  York  Times,  although  the  circulation  of  the  latter  would  surpass  that  of 
the  former  many  times. 

ADVERTISEMENTS  THE  LIFE-BLOOD  OF  NEWSPAPERS. 

Among  the  newspapers  which  have  been  most  successful  in  obtaining  wide- 
spread circulations  are  certain  story  papers  and  Sabbath  school  journals,  which  do 
not  contain  news,  and  some  of  which  are  without  advertisements.  That  some  such 
journals  can  rely  for  profits  upon  their  circulation  for  remuneration,  does  not 
render  it  less  a  fact  that  the  advertisement  is  the  life  of  newspapers.  Daily 
papers  are,  in  many  instances,  sold  to  newsboys  at  a  price  so  low  that  it  hardly 
pays  the  cost  of  the  white  paper  on  which  they  are  printed.  The  editorial  expenses, 
the  setting  of  the  types,  the  expensive  presses,  the  magnificent  mcomes  of  the  pro- 
prietors, are  all  the  result  of  the  advertising.  Without  the  fast  presses  of  to-day 
the  editions  of  50,000  copies  could  not  be  printed  in  two  or  three  hours  of  a  night 
as  now,  and  but  for  the  advertising  patronage  the  papers  could  not  be  afforded  at 
the  low  prices  which  make  possible  the  immediate  sale  of  such  enormous  numbers. 

NEWSPAPER  INCREASE. 

The  number  of  new  papei*s  started  during  the  past  five  years  has  averaged  not 
fewer  than  six  per  day,  but  the  actual  increase  has  been  only  two  thousand  one  hun- 
dred and  seventy-nine.    Suspensions  and  consolidations  account  for  the  balance. 

Since  May  1, 1S75,  thirteen  hundred  and  sixty-six  papers  have  commenced  pub. 
lication  (an  average  of  over  four  for  each  laboring  day),  and  one  thousand  and 
ninety-seven  have  suspended.  That  the  circulations  are  below  what  they  were  one 
year  ago  is  also  more  than  probable. 

Tlie  States  in  which  there  has  been  an  increase  in  number  are:  Arkansas,  nine; 
California,  twenty-eight;  District  of  Columbia,  eight;  Georgia,  five;  Illinois,  sixty- 
five;  Indiana,  eighteen;  Iowa,  twenty-two;  Kansas,  six;  Kentucky,  nine;  Maine, 
one;  Maryland,  two;  Massachusetts,  ten  ;  Michigan,  eleven;  Minnesota,  two;  Mis- 
sissippi, five;  Nebraska,  seven;  Nevada,  two;  New  York,  two;  North  Carolina,  one; 
Ohio,  thirty-one;  Oregon,  one;  Pennsjivania,  thirty-one;  Texas,  eighteen;  Virginia, 
live;    Wisconsin,  eight;  Territories,  six;  Dominion  of  Canada,  twelve. 

There  has  been  a  decrease  in  the  following  States:  Alabama,  six;  Connecticut, 
two;  Delaware,  one ;  Florida,  one;  Louisiana,  one;  Missouri,  twenty-three;  New 
Hampshire,  three;  South  Carolina,  seven;  Tennessee,  five;  Vermont,  five;  and  in 
Newfoundland,  two. 


NEWSPAPER  DATA. 


Exactly  the  same  number  as  last  year  is  issued  in  New  Jersey— one  hundrec 
and  seventy-seven— r:>iode  Island,  twenty-seven,  and  West  Virginia,  seventy-five 
Divided  g:eograiihically,  the  gain  in  number  is:  New  England  States,  one;  Middle 
States,  thirty-four ;  Western  States,  one  hundred  and  forty-seven ;  Southern  States, 
forty;    Pacific  States,  thirty-one;    Territories,  six;  Canada  and  Nev/foundland,  ten. 

INFLUENCES    WHICH   EFFECT   NEWSPAPER    CIRCULATIONS. 

It  is  interesting  to  consider  what  influences  chiefly  contribute  to  extend  or 
limit  the  circulation  of  papers.  One  reason  wliy  those  of  New  York  State  should 
have  a  larger  circulation  than  their  contemporaries  in  the  West  is  that  the  Occi 
dental  Stales  are  largely  peopled  by  emigrants  from  the  Eastern,  among  whom 
there  is  a  tendency  to  take  a  home  paper.  This  swells  the  sale  of  Massachusetts 
and  other  New  England  papers.  Another  reason:  New  York  is  the  metropolis 
of  the  country,  the  headquarters  for  all  sort?  of  information ;  and  the  knowledge 
of  this  contributes  to  make  people  in  every  part  of  the  country  seek  after  the 
New  York  journals.  It  was  notorious  in  the  time  of  the  war  that  the  armies  in 
the  battle-field,  officers  and  men,  waited  for  the  New  York  papers  in  order  to  get 
accounts  of  the  battles  they  fought,  as  no  others  gave  them  so  fully  and  accurately. 

The  leading  morning  papers  of  New  York  nearly  all  sell  for  four  cents,  but  in  the 
Western  States  five  cents  is  the  general  price.  Since,  however,  the  hard  times 
penny  papers  have  come  into  fashion  agam,  and  it  is  quite  a  remarkable  fact  that 
most  of  the  leading  papers  of  the  country  were  first  brought  into  favor  and  notice 
as  such. 

The  number  of  daily  newspapers  which  stereotype  their  forms  and  use  dupli- 
cate machinery  is  very  limited.  New  York  having  as  many  as  all  the  rest  of  the 
country  combined. 

The  newspaper  seems  to  be  an  institution  specially  calculated  to  advan  -e  in 
this  country.  Everybody  reads  it.  Many  men  and  women  of  more  than  ordinary 
intelligence  read  nothing  else ;  and  it  would  be  Avrong  to  assume  that  such  do  not 
educate  themselves  respectably,  for  he  who  studies  thoroughly  a  well-conducted 
New  York  daily  will  not  be  badly  informed  on  matters  of  importance.  The  neces- 
sities for  newspapers  seem  to  be  endless.  Politicians  want  them  to  advance  their 
political  interests;  rings  want  them  to  influence  the  pniblic  mind;  the  public  de- 
mands them  to  keep  itself  informed ;  religious  denominations  reqiure  their  aid  to 
propagate  their  distinctive  tenets,  and  so  on. 

MODERN  PRINTING  PRESSES. 

In  the  matter  of  printing  presses  there  has  been  a  great  change  in  ideas  in  the 
past  ten  years.  The  Walter  press,  which  has  many  points  m  its  favor,  is  the  only  one 
used  in  the  office  of  the  New  York  Times.  The  St.  Louis  Republican  also  employs  one  of 
these  machines.  The  Bullock  press  has  superseded  the  Hoe  in  the  New  York  Herald^ 
Sun,  and  several  other  offices.  Both  these  presses  print  from  a  continuous  roll  of 
paper.  This  feature  alone  implies  a  considerable  saving  in  the  working  expenses 
of  the  press  room.  Another  advantage  they  possess  is  their  great  compactness— 
a  quality  of  much  importance  in  large  cities  where  room  is  scarce  and  expensive. 
The  Bullock  press  is  specially  remarkable  for  this,  and,  other  things  being  equal, 
bids  fair,  by  virtue  of  its  excellence  in  this  regard,  to  advance  to  the  very  first  rank. 
The  Hoe  press  retains  its  position  in  most  of  the  important  offices  outside  the  metro- 
politan cities,  and  is  still  used  by  the  New  York  Tribune.  Several  manufacturers 
compete  for  the  patronage  in  lower-priced  machines.  In  the  smaller  weekly  oflices 
the  old  hand-press  holds  its  own,  and  their  sale  is  greater  now  than  ever  before, 
amounting  to  several  hundred  yearly. 

WHAT  KIND  OF  NEWSPAPERS  THE  PEOPLE   WANT. 

An  impression  prevails,  particularly  in  country  places,  that  the  public  want  a 
large  sheet  of  paper.  The  country  newspaper  ][)ublisher  will  almost  alwaj's  increase 
the  size  of  his  sheet  if  he  can  get  advertising  enough  to  pay  the  actual  cost  of  the 
enlargement,  and  yet  have  no  thought  whatever  of  making  a  better  paper.  The 
notion  that  he  is  publisher  of  a  large  paper  seems  to  gratify  his  pride.  This  idea 
that  a  big  sheet  is  desirable  would  seem  to  be  delusive,  because  we  find,  ingoing 


17;-

over  the  successful  papers  of  the  country,  that  those  wl.ich  really  pay  the  best  are, 
as  a  rule,  the  small  ones. 

NAMES  OF  NEWSPAPEltS. 

The  publications  of  all  kinds  described  in  the  "  American  Newspaper  Direc- 
tory -'  for  187(3  are  represented  by  7,o2G  titles.  In  many  cases  several  editions  are 
issued  from  the  same  establishment,  under  substantially  the  same  name,  and  in 
the  figures  just  stated  such  several  editions  are  counted  as  but  one.  The  Journals  are 
the  most  numerous,  there  being  487.  Next  in  favor  stand  the  Times.  These  num 
ber  310.  There  arc  302  Heralds.  The  ]Sews  number  298.  The  total  of  the  Gazettes  is 
276.  The  Democrats  come  next  in  point  of  numbers,  268.  To  offset  the  Democratic 
phalanx  there  are  211  Republicans.  The  Advertisers  number  92,  and  are  naturally  most 
frequent  in  localities  "where  the  populace  is  the  most  enlightened  and  progressive. 
There  are  122  Advocates.  This  name  appears  to  be  a  favorite  of  the  religious  pub- 
lications, and  at  least  three-fifths  of  the  total  are  borne  by'  religious  papers.  There 
are  60  papers  known  as  the  Argus,  and  with  this  quantity  of  professed  eye-power,  it 
is  amazing  that  the  frauds  heretofore  existing  for  years  were  not  sooner  discovered. 
There  are  58  Bulletins,  which  axe  undoubtedly  perused  with  care  by  the  51  Citizens

in  expectancj',  ready  to  depart  with  34  Dispatches.  There  are  89  Enterprises,  most 
of  them  being  located  in  the  West.  There  are  45  Expresses,  34  Farmers,  and  20 
Globes.  One  of  the  latter  is  the  Flint  Globe  of  Michigan,  and  another  the  Golden 
Globe  of  Colorado  Territory.  Just  133  papers  keep  on  the  safe  side  by  being  Indepen- 
dents, though  49  Leaders  are  ready  to  direct  them.  There  are  34  Ledgers,  47  Observers, 
and  16  Pilots.  One  of  the  latter  is  the  Storm  Lake  Pilot  of  Iowa,  and  another  the 
Lone  Rock  Pilot  of  Wisconsin.  Each  of  these  is  remarkably  co-incident  in  respect 
to  the  name  of  the  place  and  the  name  of  the  paper.  There  are  59  Posts,  122  Registers, 
and  95  Reviews.  The  country  enjoys  the  guardianship  of  144  Sentinels,  one  of  which 
is  the  Lone  Tree  Sentinel  of  Iowa.  There  are  76  Standards,  SI  Stars,  50  Suns,  and  93

rare.  It  occasionally  happens  that  the  prominence  attained  by  a  single  paper  with 
a  certain  name  brings  the  name  so  much  before  the  people  that  it  grows  familiar 
to  the  public  mind,  though  there  may  really  be  but  few  papers  with  the  same  desig- 
nation. What  the  journalistic  fancy  of  the  Centennial  year  will  devise  in  the  way 
of  newspaper  titles  is  uncertain. 

THE    CO-OPERATIVT:    NEWSPAPERS— what    THEY   ARE. 

Within  the  past  seven  or  eight  years  there  has  come  up  a  class  of  newspapers 
known  as  co-operatives,  or  patent  insides  and  outsides,  by  which  it  is  understood 
that  the  publisher  purchases  at  a  central  point  a  sufficient  number  of  sheets  for  his 
issue  with  one  side  already  printed.  The  persons  with  whom  he  contracts,  having 
extensive  ol^cos,  and  wide  arrangements  with  publishers  through  a  great  extent  of 
country,  are  able  to  supply  fifty  or  one  hundred  with  the  same  matter,  the  geographi- 
cal distribution  of  those  papers  being  so  distinct  that  the  fact  of  the  sides  of  two 


NEWSPAPER  DATA.  175 


papers  being  alike  becomes  of  no  consequence.  They  do  not  go  to  the  same  readers. 
The  system  has  been  scoffed  at;  but  it  has  grown  nevertheless.  It  is  found  that 
the  man  who  has  a  "  patent  inside"  can  in  many  cases  make  a  better  paper  and  a 
cheaper  than  he  who  plumes  himself  upon  doing  the  thing  "all  at  home."  There 
are  about  2,000  sheets  printed  on  this  plan— more  than  a  fourth  of  all  the  weeklies 
published.  ' 

THE  VALUE  OF  ADVERTISINQ  SPACE. 

The  value  of  advertising  space  in  a  newspaper  la  generally  supposed  to  be  fixed 
by  its  circulation,  but  although  the  principal,  this  is  not  the  only  element  to  be 
considered.  Advertisements  in  papers  having  large  circulations  are  said  to  be 
worth  half  a  cent  a  line  in  dailies,  and  one  cent  a  line  in  Aveeklies,  for  each  thou- 
sand issued.  In  papers  of  smaller  circulation  publishers  have  to  obtain  a  higher 
price  for  advertisements  which  go  in  but  a  few  times.  Advertisements  are  attracted 
to  those  journals  which  contain  other  announcements  of  the  same  class.  A  man 
who  wants  to  let  a  house  advertises  it  in  the  paper  in  which  he  sees  most  an- 
nouncements of  hovises  to  let;  and  in  time  in  every  city  there  will  be  some  one 
paper  monopolizing  that  class  of  advertisements,  and  it  is  almost  impossible  for  any 
rival  ever  to  displace  it  or  deprive  it  of  this  peculiar  patronage.  It  will  hold  it 
even  after  having  lost  its  circulation. 

The  impression  prevails  that  English  papers  are  much  more  favored  with  adver- 
tisements than  the  American  ones.  This  is  not  the  case.  Our  journals  have  more  and 
get  much  higher  prices  for  them.  No  other  paper  in  the  world  has  so  many  as  the 
New  York  Herald,  whose  advertising  rates  are  fifty  per  cent,  higher  than  those  of  the 
London  Times,  and  Harper^s  Weekly  charges  four  times  as  much  as  the  Illustrated  Lori' 
don  News  for  the  same  space.  The  truth  is,  the  advertising  rates  of  American 
paners  are  higher  throughout  than  those  of  the  English,  and  the  patronage 
expended  to  them  is  more  munificent. 

The  one-price  system  for  advertising  is  the  one  which  pays.  Publishers  are 
apt  to  devote  too  much  attention  to  advertising.  They  think  that  this  is  all  they 
have  need  to  strive  after,  and  they  often  depend  upon  it  to  pay  every  expense.  Some 
have  even  gone  so  far  as"  to  publish  a  paper  to  be  given  away,  trusting  to  the  adver- 
tising to  even  cover  the  cost  of  the  white  paper;  but  as  the  paper  v/ould  be  a  great 
item  of  outlay,  the  temptation  to  defraud  is  so  great  that  it  is  not  in  human  nature 
to  withstand  it.  Knowing  this,  advertisers  have  come  to  regard  papers  of  free  cir- 
culation as  dishonest  enterprises,  and  there  are  now  none  of  them  in  existence 
which  are  of  any  account.  Advertising  space  is  generally  charged  for  by  the 
"  square  "—a  term  which  may  have  had  meaning  once,  but  has  not  any  now.  A 
"square"  means  a  space— a  large  or  a  small  space,  according  to  the  arbitrary  rules 
of  oflices.  Thus,  a  man  who  orders  two  "  squares  "  may  find  he  has  negotiated  for 
eight  or  for  sixty-four  lines.    A  "square"  is  about  as  definite  as  "a  piece  of  chalk." 

Agate  is  the  type  used  in  all  the  great  daily  papers  for  advertisements.  Smaller 
type  would  not  do,  and  larger  is  never  employed.  In  some  of  the  higher  priced 
weeklies  they  are  set  in  nonpareil;  in  a  few  of  the  lower  priced  still  larger  type 
appears,  and  in  some  of  the  Southern  papers  we  find  the  paid  announcements 
displayed  in  long  primer.  Whenever  a  paper  uses  a  larger  type  than  nonpareil 
for  its  advertisements,  the  experienced  advertiser  knovv^s  that  space  can  be  bought 
at  a  low  price. 

It  is,  doubtless,  true  that  the  best  managers  of  newspapers  treat  their  advertis- 
ing space  as  merchandise.  They  know  what  it  costs  and  Vvhat  it  ought  to  be 
worth,  and  unless  they  obtain  the  price  they  value  it  at,  do  not  sell.  Experience 
teaches  that  the  man  who  gets  a  reduction  to-day  will  not  advertise  to-morrow  unless 
a  similar  or  greater  concession  be  made;  whilst  he  who  is  refused  to-day  comes  in  to- 
morrow with  inci-eased  respect  for  the  man  who  had  the  backbone  to  see  him  leave 
the  office  the  day  before.  Yet,  after  all,  advertising  space  is  not  like  merchandise. 
Merchandise,  if  not  sold,  remains  in  store  and  possesses  value,  whilst  advertising 
space,  if  not  disposed  of,  must  be  filled  up  Avith  reading  matter,  and  the  com- 
positor, too,  must  be  paid  for  setting  it.  This  fact  acts  as  a  lever  in  the  hands 
of  the  shrewd  advertiser,  and  is  by  him  used  with  great  ettect.  In  most  of  the 
country  weeklies  an  advertisement  for  three  months  will  cost  no  more  than  twice 
the  sum  which  would  be  demanded  for  one  month;  and  if  double  the  price  for 


176  NEWSPAPEE  DATA. 


three  months  be  offered  for  a  year's  insertion,  the  chances  are  it  will  not  be  refused. 
Patent  medicine  men  become  very  conversant  with  this  condition  of  affairs. 

Advertisements  possess  another  value  in  addition  to  the  money  which  they  bring 
The  "wanted"  advertisements,  those  of  school-books,  etc.,  etc.,  are  much  sought 
after,  they  being  supposed  to  give  character  to  the  columns  of  a  paper.  Patent  medi- 
cine advertisements,  although  considered  less  desirable,  are,  as  a  general  thing, 
taken  at  lower  rates  than  those  of  banks  and  insurance  companies,  because  it  is  under- 
stood that  a  man  who  advertises  patent  medicines  must  make  the  advertising  pay, 
and  that  he  will  watch  and  know  the  result.  The  other  classes  extend  their  adver- 
ti.^ing  more  as  favors,  and  have  less  faith  in  its  efficacy. 

NEWSPAPER  CIRCULATIONS. 

Of  the  circulation  of  newspapers  m  this  country  as  compared  with  that  in 
others  we  know  very  little.  This  is  the  only  country  in  the  world  wherein  any  sta- 
tistics of  newspaper  circulation  are  published  regularly.  People's  ideas  about 
circulation  are  very  crude.  Newspapers  have  by  no  means  such  large  constituen- 
cies as  they  are  supposed  to  have.  A  town  of  50,000  inhabitants  rarely  will  buy 
as  many  as  2,000  copies  of  a  daily  paper  published  in  its  midst;  and  many  a  daily 
paper  is  published  which  prints  less  than  300  copies  per  diem.  Sometimes  papers 
rarely  heard  of  in  the  town  of  their  publication,  and  thought  but  of  little  conse- 
quence there,  are  those  printing  the  largest  number  of  copies.  In  New  York  city 
the  News  imdoubtedly  prints  more  than  100,000  copies  a  day,  yet  many  residents 
of  the  city  do  not  see  a  copy  from  one  end  of  the  year  to  another.  The  largest 
regular  circulation  ever  obtained  by  any  daily  newspaper  in  the  United  States  is 
now  possessed  by  the  New  York  Sun,  Its  daily  issue  is  about  140,000  copies.  The 
London  Daily  Telegraph  is  the  only  paper  in  Europe  whose  circulation  exceeds  that 
of  the  New  York  6'un.  Thatissaid  to  issue  about  180,000  copies  daily,  while  the  Lon- 
don Times,  believed  by  the  public  in  general  to  be  the  leading  paper  of  the  world 
(and  justly  so),  prints  barely  one-third  that  number.  It  is  almost  superfluous  to  add 
that  the  most  influential  dailies  are  not  always  those  of  largest  circulation. 

The  New  York  Ledger  and  the  New  York  Weekly  undoubtedly  print  more  than 
100,000  copies  every  issue— possibly  twice  that  number;  a  child's  paper  in  Boston 
issues  127,000,  and  Harper's  Weekly  can  claim  nearly  100,000.  With  these  exceptions 
there  is  every  reason  for  believing  that  there  are  no  weekly  papers  which  exceed 
an  issue  of  90,000. 

A  premium  system  of  getting  subscribers  has  been  very  much  in  fashion  for 
some  3'ears  past,  which  has  at  times  been  very  successful.  Many  papers  have  run 
up  an  enormous  circulation  by  this  means,  people  often  buying  them  for  the  premium, 
and  not  caring  for  the  paper.  But  circulations  so  obtained  do  not  hold  good,  and 
after  the  expansion  has  once  receded,  it  is  exceedingly  difficult    to  restore  it. 

The  religious  paper  having  the  largest  circulation  in  the  United  States  is  the  Chris- 
tian Advocate,  published  in  New  York;  next  to  it,  probably,  the  New  York  Observer. 

It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  some  of  the  most  profitable  papers  have  very 
small  circulations.  They  obtain  a  good  name  and  valuable  advertising  patronage; 
their  small  issue  enables  them  to  get  along  with  low-priced  presses.  Having  plenty 
of  time  to  run  off  an  edition,  they  do  not  employ  many  men.  With  them  there  is  no 
rush  or  confusion.  Everything  goes  slowly,  comfortably,  is  done  cheaply,  and  mah- 
aged  with  economy,  and  a  large  portion  of  the  money  which  comes  in  remains  as 
profit. 

AMOUNT  OF  CAPITAL  REQUIRED  TO  START  A  NEWSPAPER. 

The  amount  of  capital  required  to  start  a  newspaper  is  an  interesting  subject. 
It  varies  from  three  hundred  dollars  up  to  a  million.  Many  an  one  has  been  com- 
menced on  as  little  money  as  the  smallest  sum  named,  while  probably  a  million 
would  hardly  suffice  to  bring  out  in  New  York  at  the  present  time  a  daily  which 
should  successfully  compete  with  the  great  dailies  already  in  existence. 

The  largest  profits  ever  made  from  newspaper  enterprise  have  come  from 
daily  papers.  They  also  sink  money  the  most  rapidly  Avhenthey  fail  to  pay.  Weekly 
papers  stand  next  in  the  order  of  lucrativeness;  but  semi-weekly  and  tri-weekly 
papers  are  rarely  profitable.  There  is  no  instance  in  all  the  Northern  States  of 
a  semi  or  tri-weekly  paper  having  come  up  to  the  value  of  $1.5,000. 


NEWSPAPER  DATA.  177 


The  sums  of  money  sunk  in  establishing  papers  are  often  very  heavy.  On  Har- 
per's Weekly  $100,000  was  expended  before  it  commenced  to  pay;  the  New  York 
Times''  outlay  reached  several  hundred  thousand  dollars  before  the  investors  began 
to  see  :i  return;  Hearth  and  Home  entailed  on  its  various  proprietors  losses  not  far 
short  of  $200,000  before  it  was  finally  suspended ;  and  many  a  paper  of  which  the  pub- 
lic knows  nothiiig  has  cost  its  owners  sums  ranging  from  $30,000  to  $100,000.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  profits,  when  success  is  met,  are  proijortionately  large-  Har- 
per's Weekly  has  undoubtedly  paid  as  much  as  $100,000  a  year  in  profits ;  the  New  York 
Ledger  much  more.  The  Philadelphia  Ledger,  New  York  Herald,  New  York  Times, 
and  New  York  .San  have  often  paid  much  larger  profits  than  those  even.  It  is  re- 
ported that  the  Chicago  Tribune  earned  from  its  advertising  columns  the  money  re- 
quired for  its  new  building  as  it  was  needed  to  pay  the  contractors.  Monthlies  rarely 
make  much  money.  They  are  generally  published  for  the  pleasure  of  the  thing. 
No  temperance  newspaper  was  ever  known  to  pay.  The  same  may  be  said  of  masonic 
publications  and  of  those  devoted  to  the  interest  of  any  of  the  various  secret  societies. 

To  establish  a  new  daily  paper  in  any  of  the  large  cities  is  considered  a  posi- 
tively certain  way  of  sinking  all  the  money  that  is  put  in.  In  ten  years  there  has 
been  no  new  daily  in  New  York  that  has  made  money;  and  one  that  is  losing  is  a 
perfect  maelstrom  for  the  wrecking  of  capital.  Such  investments  we  have  heard  com- 
pared (and  aptly)  to  "pouring  water  down  a  rat  hole."  There  is  hardly  ever  any  end 
to  it.  The  parper,  however,  that  is  making  money  will  go  on  doing  so,  notwithstand- 
ing great  mismanagement.  That  which  does  not  quite  pay,  and  loses  a  little  more 
this  year  than  last,  will  never  pay;  but  the  one  which  has  struggled  for  twenty  years, 
and  for  the  last  five  has  come  a  little  nearer  to  a  paying  basis  each  twelvemonth,  will 
in  a  few  years  make  a  fortune  for  its  owners. 

The  causes  of  failure  in  newspaper  enterprises  may  almost  invariably  be  traced 
to  poor  business  management.  The  paper  that  fails,  fails  in  a  way  and  from  causes 
which  would  be  foreseen  by  any  intelligent  observer  who  from  day  to  day  had  an 
opportunity  of  overseeing  such  matters. 

The  value  of  newspaper  property  in  this  country  is  very  great.  It  is  very  in- 
tangible, however.  Probably  the  New  York  Herald,  if  ofl'ered  for  sale,  would  realize 
about  two  million  dollars.  There  are  two  or  three  establishments  worth  a  million 
of  dollars  each;  a  couple  of  dozen  worth  half  a  million ;  a  larger  number  equal  to  a 
hundred  thousand  dollars  apiece ;  and  there  exist  plenty  of  offices  throughout  the 
country  publishing  little  papers,  which  a  journeyman  printer,  going  in  with  $250, 
and  giving  his  note  for  $250  more,  could  induce  the  proprietor  to  resign  in  his  favor. 
There  are  many  newspapers  conducted  in  the  country  the  proprietors  of  which 
do  not  realize  more  than  $400  profit  per  annum  as  a  recompense  for  their  labor. 

In  the  country,  in  small  places,  the  job  office  is  an  important  auxiliary.  Many 
papers  would  be  unable  to  exist  without  it,  and  in  some  the  paper  simply  serves 
as  a  sort  of  a  tender  to  the  other  department.  It  advertises  and  brings  business  to 
the  printer.  Next  to  the  job  office,  the  legal  advertising  is  depended  upon  to  furnish 
the  sustenance  of  the  newspaper.  It  is  oftentimes  the  case  that  a  man  having  a  news- 
paper established  in  a  frontier  county  (and  consequently  a  sparsely-settled  region) 
takes  advantage  of  the  absence  of  similar  publications  to  publish  a  sheet  at  his  own 
office,  printing  on  it  the  name  of  the  shiretown  in  a  contiguous  county.  He  then 
sends  over  one  or  two  hundred  copies  and  obtains  subscribers  there,  and  thus 
manages  to  get  the  legal  advertising  of  the  county.  In  this  way  the  enterprise  pays — 
perhaps  not  very  handsomely,  but  it  does  pay. 

The  most  successful  newspapers  are  those  conducted  in  two  separate  depart- 
ments, having  an  editor  and  a  publisher.  The  editor  controls  the  columns  of  the 
paper.  It  is  for  him  to  say  what  course  the  paper  shall  take— what  it  shall  say  and 
what  it  shall  not  say;  it  is  for  the  publisher  to  see  that  the  bills  are  paid,  to  fix  the 
prices  for  advertising,  and  to  decide  what  shall  be  paid  for  of  that  which  is  ))ublished. 
These  two  positions  need  two  very  difi'erent  descriptions  of  talent,  and  it  is  very 
rarely  indeed  that  one  man  i^ossesses  both.  It  was  well  known  that  Mr.  Greeley, 
the  founder  of  the  New  York  Tribune,  was  never  a  suitable  man  to  have  anything 
to  do  with  the  aflaii's  of  the  counting-roooi.  He,  perhaps,  knew  this  as  well  as 
anybody.

NEWSPAPER  CHARACTER  AND  INFLUENCE. 

Thebusinessof  publishin«r  a  newspaper,  in  the  hands  of  a  good  man,  is  a  very 
respectable  one,  but  in  the  hands  of  a  man  of  another  sort  it  becomes  quite  the 
reverse. 

The  editor  who  always  tells  the  truth— v/ho  says  in  his  columns  only  what  he  be- 
lieves—exercises a  great  iniluence,  and  sometimes  he  is  himself  surprised  to  find  to 
what  an  extent  his  statements  are  received.  The  newspapers  which  never  take  any 
stand  upon  political  questions— the  so-called  independent  papers,  that  are  Repub- 
lican to-day  and  Democratic  to-morrow— do  not  wield  much  power  over  the  minds 
of  their  readers.  Senator  Wilson,  of  Massachusetts,  our  late  Vice-President,  very 
accurately  described  their  position  when,  in  conversation  one  day  with  a  Western 
editor  who  prided  himself  upon  the  influence  of  his  "independent"  paper,  he 
said:  "Your  independent  papers  have  not  any  influence.  Your  readers  have  been 
so  educated  by  you  that  they  are  ]ust  as  independent  as  you  are.  and  when  you 
take  any  stand  dift'erent  from  that  which  you  have  been  taking,  your  readers  cut 
loose  from  you." 

To  make  a  good  newspaper,  to  publish  it,  or  to  edit  it,  is  said  to  require  a  pecu- 
liar training.  Yet  many  successful  newspapermen  have  never  had  any,  and  have 
gone  into  the  business  in  middle  life.  They  have,  however,  all  been  men  who 
have  shown  themselves  possessed  of  a  peculiar  tact  which  is  not  common  by  any 
means. 

Editors  are  slow  to  learn  that  what  interests  them  will  not  always  interest  their 
readers.  If  an  editor  has  a  personal  grievance,  he  is  greatly  temjited  to  venti- 
late it  in  his  paper,  and  in  that  way  he  reveals  to  his  readers  all  about  a  rival  or 
an  enemy  of  whom  they  might  otherwise  never  have  heard.  Thus  he  makes  an 
antagonist  of  importance,  who,  if  let  alone,  would  have  been  of  no  consequence 
whatever. 

NEWSPAPER  SALARIES. 

Where  there  are  no  oflacial  announcements,  to  report  upon  people's  salaries 
is  necessarily  somewhat  hazardous.  It  is  an  interesting  point,  however,  and  one 
that  cannot  be  overlooked  in  a  sketch  of  this  kind.  The  largest  salaries  paid  to 
editors  probably  do  not  exceed  $15,000  a  year,  and  this  can  only  be  secured  on  one  or 
twoof  the  leading  New  York  journals.  Incitiesoutsideof  New  York  $100  a  week  is 
good  pay,  and  it  is  only  in  cities  like  Chicago  that  so  much  is  to  be  obtained.  Proba- 
bly no  editor  in  Boston,  Philadelphia,  or  any  Eastern  city,  except  Npw  York,  receives 
as  much  as  $5,000  a  year.  Reporters  and  city  editors,  and  all  the  minor  positions 
on  a  paper  are,  as  a  rule,  poorly  paid— from  $12  to  $40  a  week,  according  to  the 
importance  of  the  place.  The  business  manager  of  a  paper  is  frequently  the  best 
paid  employe,  and  upon  him  the  profits  largely  depend. 

TOO  MUCH  ORIGINAL  MATTER  NOT  DESIRABLE  IN  NEWSPAPERS. 

Papers  which  are  made  up  entirely  of  original  matter  are  not,  as  a  rule,  very 
popular.  It  is  a  very  common  remark  of  shrewd  newspaper  men  that  they  can  steal 
better  articles  than  they  can  buy.  When  an  article  is  bought  and  paid  for,  there  is 
a  feeliag  that  the  whole  of  it  must  be  used,  even  though  in  some  parts  it  lack 
interest.  On  the  other  hand,  there  is  no  feeling  of  compunction  in  slicing  down, 
to  meet  the  exigencies  of  space  or  the  needs  of  readers,  a  good  article  seen  in  a 
neighboring  paper.  The  good  points  are  saved  and  verbiage  rejected.  It  is  also 
a  fact  that  the  public  seem  to  have  an  objection  to  too  much  reading  matter. 
Among  the  most  prosperous  papers  are  those  Avhich  have  very  little  of  it  in 
their  columns.  In  proof  of  this  take,  for  instance,  the  Philadelphia  Ledger  and 
the  New  York  iVfifs.  The  public  also  have  an  antipathy  to  supplements.  Hardly 
any  man  finds  an  extra  sheet  in  his  morning  paper  without  a  feeling  of  annoy- 
ance, or  without  wishing  It  were  not  there.  Yet  these  supplements  cost  a  great  deal 
of  money. 

rt  may  not  be  out  of  place  here  to  correct  an  erroneous  idea  which  quite  ex- 
tensively prevails.    It  is  thought  that  the  conductors  of  newspapers,  especially  of 


NEWSPAPER  DATA.  179 


those  appearing  diiu-nally,  are  very  glad  to  have  sensational  reports— great  trials, 
murders,  scandals,  and  so  forth.  These  cause  the  papers  to  be  largely  sold,  and  the 
public  infer  that  the  proprietors  reap  heavy  profits  from  the  increased  circulation, 
whereas  the  fact  is  that  the  extra  expense  for  telegraphic  news,  for  reportorial  labor, 
type  setting,  etc.,  vastly  exceeds  all  the  profit  accruing  from  this  source. 

THE  CIRCULATION    AN!)    DISTRIBUTION  OF  NEWSPAPtdS. 

In  the  list  of  dailies,  in  point  of  circulation  the  average  of  Maryland  (11,336) 
stands  at  the  head  of  the  list,  with  Massachusetts  (9,942)  second,  and  New  York 
(8,402)  third.  The  large  average  of  Maryland  is  due  to  the  fact  that  six  out  of  the 
eight  dailies,  whose  circulations  are  given,  are  published  in  Baltimore  and  print  from 
8,278  to  20,094  copies  each.  Although  the  average  circulation  of  the  New  York  city 
dailies  is  24,905,  the  large  number  of  coimtry  dailies  whose  subscription  lists  fall  below 
1,000  each  (28  per  cent.),  reduces  the  average  for  the  whole  State  to  a  third  place 
in  the  list.  In  7Iassachusett8  26  per  cent,  of  the  list  exceeds  10,000  circulation, 
while  in  New  York  only  11  per  cent,  reaches  that  figure.  The  smallest  daily 
average  (734)  is  found  in  Mississippi,  and  the  next  (782)  in  Nebraska. 

Among  the  weeklies  the  largest  average  (4,120)  is  found  in  New  York,  the  next 
(3,777)  in  Massachusetts,  and  the  next  (3,375)  in  the  District  of  Columbia.  A  com- 
parison between  the  cities  of  New  York  and  Boston  shows  an  average  weekly 
circulation  of  12,124  in  the  former  and  of  10,702  in  the  latter.  Nevada  furnishes  the 
smallest  weekly  average  (400),  and  Florida  (478)  next.  Among  the  total  averages  of 
all  iHiblications  that  of  New  York  (4,991)  ranks  first,  that  of  Massachusetts  (4,582) 
second,  and  that  of  the  District  of  Columbia  (3,697)  third,  while  Florida  (470)  is  found 
at  the  foot  of  the  list.  Between  the  different  classes  of  publications  the  monthlies 
take  the  lead,  with  an  average  circulation  of  5,144,  and  the  dailies  next  with  3,877. 
A  further  analysis  shows  that,  while  the  daily  average  of  a  State  is  influenced  to  a 
marked  degree  by  the  large  cities  within  its  borders,  that  of  the  weeklies  serve 
as  an  unfailing  index  of  the  prosperity  and  intelligence  of  the  rural  districts.  In 
the  Northern  States  the  average  is  large,  while  in  the  Southern  States  and  Terri- 
tories it  is  small. 

In  a  comparison  of  aggregates.  New  York  heads  the  list  with  a  daily  circulation 
of  764,500  copies,  or  244,640,000  copies  per  annum,  of  which  number  599,161  copies 
are  issued  daily  in  New  York  city  alone.  The  aggregate  weekly  circulation  in  the 
State  is  2,459.503  copies,  of  which  1,782,163  copies  are  issued  from  the  city  offices, 
and  the  total  aggregate  amounts  to  4,271,527  copies  each  issue,  or  390,529,912  copies 
per  annum.  Of  the  total  for  each  issue.  New  York  city  prints  3,340,300  copies,  or  over 
78  per  cent,  of  the  aggregate  circulation  of  the  State.  The  next  largest  total  aggre- 
gate for  each  issue  is  that  of  Pennsylvania  (1,701,250),  and  the  next  Massachusetts 
(1,214,124).  The  total  circulation  of  all  the  dailies  in  the  United  States  amounts  to 
2,291,041  copies,  ot  the  weeklies  8,938,166  copies,  and  of  all  publications  13,940,304 
copies  each  issue,  or  1,250,024,590  copies  per  annum. 

A  comparison  between  the  aggregate  circulation  of  all  publications  in  each  State 
with  its  population  (1870),  shows  that  California  issues  90  copies  peranaum  for  every 
individual  on  her  census  rolls,  while  New  York  and  Massachusetts  fall  but  little 
short  of  that  number  with  an  annual  issue  of  89  and  79  copies  respectively.  When 
the  distance  of  California  from  the  great  newspaper  centres  of  the  East  is  considered, 
it  will  be  seen  that  the  local  support  which  her  publications  receive  is  far  better 
than  a  comparison  with  the  averages  of  those  States  in  near  proximity  to  New  York, 
Boston,  or  Philadelphia  would  indicate.  At  the  other  extreme  we  find  Florida 
and  Arkansas,  the  former  issuing  3  and  the  latter  4  copies  per  annum  to  each  person. 
Of  the  42  separate  States  and  Territores,  9  issue  less  then  10  copies,  23  less  than  25 
copies,  and  34  less  than  50  copies  per  annum  to  each  person,  while  in  the  whole  of 
them  combined  the  average  number  issued  is  32.  It  will  be  interesting  to  note  that 
a  high  average  is  always  found  in  those  States  where  a  high  standard  of  educa- 
tion and  good  order  exists— a  fact  of  no  slight  significance  in  estiiaating  the  in- 
fluence of  newspapers  upon  the  government  and  education  of  the  people.  The 
table  shows  that  one  periodical  of  some  kind  is  printed  for  every  three  persons. 
With  five  persons  to  each  family  this  will  prove  one  of  two  things,  either  that  there

THE  CONNECTICUT  COURANT. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF   THE  CEXTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  CoiTRXNT,  of  Hartford,  is  the  oldest,  most  successful,  most  widely-known 
journal  that  is  published  in  Connecticut;  nor  has  any  in  New  England  a  more 
thoroughly  national  reputation.  The  first  regular  number  of  its  weekly  edition— the 
Connecticut  Codrant— was  issued  November  19, 1764,  by  Thomas  Green,  who  set 
up  the  first  printing  press  in  Hartford,  in  order  to  print  this  paper.  Since  then  it 
has  been  continuously  published  in  the  same  city  and  under  the  same  title,  and  no 
other  newspaper  in  the  United  States  has  for  so  long  a  time  had  a  similarly  uninter- 
upted  existence.    It  is,  therefore,  speaking  strictly,  the  oldest  newspaper  in  America  ! 

It  appeai-ed  in  time  to  give  early  utterance  to  the  complaints  that,  first  by  sug- 
gestion, then  by  plain  statement,  and  later  by  most  emphatic  expression,  gave 
unheeded  warning  of  the  coming  revolution  of  a  century  ago.  All  through  that 
trying  period,  save  one  brief  interval  when,  delayed  by  lack  of  paper — the  pro- 
prietors stopped  piiblication  long  enough  to  buiUl  themselves  a  paper  mill — the 
CouRANT  regularly  appeared  every  week.  And  on  through  the  settlement  of  the 
war,  and  the  discordant  times  that  followed,  and  on  through  three  more  wars 
through  all  our  periods  of  national  prosperity  and  adversity,  the  Courant  has 
imfailingly  gone  out  to  its  thousands  of  readers  prepared  under  tlie  promise  of 
its  projector,  to  take  "great  care  from  Time  to  Time  to  collect  all  domestic  Occur- 
rences that  are  worthy  the  Notice  of  the  Publick." 

The  whole  history  of  the  United  States,  written  contemporaneously  with  the 
events,  is  spread  out  on  record  on  its  pages,  while  its  advertisyig  columns,  and  its 
home  news  are,  from  year  to  year,  illustrative  of  the  domestic  and  social  life  of  the 
people  and  of  its  various  changes. 

The  first  Courant  was  of  four  pages,  with  two  columns  to  each  page.  The 
Courant  of  to-day,  still  a  four -paged  journal,  has  nine  columns  to  (he  page,  and  is 
more  than  eight  times  as  large  as  was  the  first  issue;  while  now  all  the  issues  of  the 
Courant,  daily  and  weekly,  give  their  readers  nearly  sixty  times  as  much  to  look 
over  in  one  week  as  was  given  in  a  week  by  the  Courant  a  century  ago. 

The  Hartford  Daily  Courant  was  first  printed  in  183G,  and  is  now  the  only 
morning  newspaper  in  the  city.  The  paper,  owing,  perhaps,  in  part  to  its  long 
service  and  its  being  so  firmly  established  in  the  households  of  all  those  older 
families  of  the  State,  with  whom  it  has  come  to  be  an  indispensable  institution,  has 
a  wide  popularity.  From  early  days  it  has  received  frequent  contributions  from 
prominent  citizens;  Hartford  people  regarding  it  as  the  Englishmen  are  said  to 
regard  their  London  Times — as  the  place  to  appear  in  in  print  whenever  they  have 
anything  to  say.  It  would  be  hard  to  name  any  of  the  public  characters  of  the  city 
for  a  hundred  years  back  who  have  not,  participating  in  some  discussion,  or  through 
some  particular  independent  essay  of  their  own,  put  their  contributions  in  the 
"People's  Column"  of  the  Courant.  It  has  become  a  part  and  fixture  of  the  city 
of  Hartford  and  of  the  State  of  Connecticut.  Its  circulation  is  large  through 
Connecticut,  and  its  influence  under  judicious  management  has  become  very  great. 
Outside  of  the  State,  the  weekly,  more  especially  than  the  daily,  is  taken  by  sub- 
scribers all  over  the  country  and  by  many  New  England  people  abroad. 

The  paper  has  changed  proprietors  ten  times  since  17Gi,  either  by  total  sale  or 
by  change  of  partnership,  and  since  January  1, 1867,  has  been  published  by  Hawley, 
Goodrich  &  Co.  Gen.  Joseph  R.  Hawley,  the  President  of  the  Centennial  Commis- 
sion, is  at  the  head  of  the  firm,  and  when  at  home  is  the  editor-in-chief.  Mr. 
Charles  Dudley  Warner  is  associated  with  him,  both  in  the  partnership  and  as  editor, 
and  "  My  Summer  in  a  Garden,"  Mr.  Warner's  first  thoroughly  successful  literary 
production,  was  first  printed  in  a  series  of  contributions  to  this  paper.  Mr.  Stephen 
A.  Hubbard,  formerly  of  the  Winsted  (Ct.)  Herald,  is  the  third  associate  partner  and 


182  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS. 

editor,  and  the  manager.  The  business  department  is  in  chai-ge  of  Mr.  W.  H,  Good- 
rich, whose  name  appears  in  the  firm,  and  who  has  been  connected  with  the  paper 
for  many  years. 

All  the  regular  facilities  of  the  modern  newspaper  for  collecting  news  "  worthy 
the  Notice  of  the  Publick  "  are  employed  by  the  Courant,  and  it  has  also  its  special 
correspondents  in  various  parts,  both  of  this  country  and  Europe.  Every  effort  is 
made  to  have  it  truly  a  newspaper.  Conscious  of  its  influence  and  jealously  careful 
of  its  reputation  for  honesty  and  accuracy,  the  managers  of  the  Coukant  maintain 
for  it  a  high  moral  tone  and  avoid  that  which  is  sensational  and  untrustworthy.  By 
this  wise  conservatism  they  increase  the  respect  for  the  pftper  and  the  weight 
attached  to  its  expressions  of  opinions,  which  are  positively  and  fearlessly  outspoken 
in  favor  of  what  it  believes  to  be  right. 

Relatively  to  its  size  Hartford  is  to-day  the  richest  city  in  the  United  States.  It 
has  developed  thus  through  a  series  of  wisely-planned  public  measures  and  through 
the  energy  and  private  enterprise  of  its  citizens.  The  Courant  has  been  found 
always  ready  to  advocate  that  public  policy  which  looked  to  the  city's  ultimate 
welfare,  and  it  has  always  had  a  word  of  encouragement  for  those,  citizens  who  have 
made  themselves  active  in  opening  new  and  promising  paths  of  industry.  It  has 
seen  the  insurance  business  of  Hartford  grow  from  its  very  beginnings  to  the 
accumulation  of  the  hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars  of  assets  that  the  Hartford 
companies  now  have;  it  has  watched  the  banks  of  Hartford  from  the  founding  of 
the  first  grow  to  be  the  richest  in  the  State;  and  it  has  welcomed  and  assisted  one 
after  another  the  great  manufactories  that  have  so  contributed  to  make  Hartford 
famous.  In  a  word,  it  has,  from  the  first,  identified  itself  with  the  best  interests  of 
the  place,  and  as  Hartford  has  prospered  and  grown,  the  Courant  has  prospered 
and  grown  with  it,  and  may  to-day  be  taken  as  the  exponent  of  New  England 
intelligence,  New  England  enterprise,  New  England  honesty,  and  New  England 
success,  which  is  the  product  of  these. 


THE  "  PUBLIC  LEDGER,"  PHILADELPHIA. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIP>ITION. 


The  Philadelphia  Public  Ledger  is  c  ^nong  the  journals  which  have 
chiefly  coivtributecl  to  establish  the  reputation  of  the  American  press.  In 
point  of  entex'prise  as  well  as  of  originality  of  business  procedure,  the  mana- 
ger and  proprietor  of  the  Ledger  is  not  surpassed  by  those  liolding  simi- 
lar relations  to  any  of  our  other  great  papers,  and  in  no  instance  has  the  exei'- 
cise  of  those  qualities  secured  for  their  owners  such  widespread  celebrity  as  is 
apparent  in  the  case  of  Geo.  W.  Childs.  It  is  not  alone  in  the  Western  Hemis- 
phere that  this  distinguished  journalist's  fame  is  a  topic  discussed  far  and  wide; 
it  is  almost  equally  established  and  canvassed  in  European  countries— France, 
Germany,  England— wliere  his  achievements  are  held  up  as  exemplars  of  Ameri- 
can enterprise,  power  of  surmounting  colossal  obstacles,  and  justice  in  reward- 
ing merit.  Biographies  of  liim  have  been  published  in  leading  organs  of  those 
countries,  the  interest  of  the  narriatives  being  such  that  thousands  of  readers  have 
perused  them  with  avidity,  and  so  widely  discussed  the  matter  of  them  that 
most  Europeans  who  stiidy  our  public  men  are  acquainted  intimately  with  tlie 
history  of  the  popular  proprietor  of  the  Public  Ledger,  of  Philadelphia. 

George  W.  Childs  eommenced  life  in  a  humble  way,  and  has  risen 
to  wealth  and  eminence,  and  the  sanae  may  be  said  of  the  Public  Ledger  itself, 
which  first  appeared  as  a  small  four-page,  one-cent  sheet  on  the  25th  of  March, 
1836.  The  talent  employed  on  it  was,  however,  of  a  high  order,  and  quickly 
secvired  it  favorable  notice  and  hearty  support.  The  first  year  of  the  Ledger's 
existence  proved  so  propitious  that  larger  accommodation  was  needed,  and  the 
paper  was  increased  in  size.  Success  continued  to  be  proportionate  to  the 
enterprise  displayed,  and  (as  usual  where  profits  are  quickly  realized)  rivalry 
was  induced.  Other  penny  daily  papers  were  started  in  opposition,  but  failed 
to  loosen  the  firm  hold  on  the  people's  regard  which  had  been  conceded  the 
Ledger  as  a  reward  of  ability,  consistency,  and  a  progressive  spirit.  During 
and  subsequent  to  the  Abolition  Riots  of  1838  the  Ledger  became  famous  as  an 
uncompromising  advocate  of  "free  speech"  as  to  slave  labor,  and  notwith- 
standing that  manj^  of  its  readers  were  for  a  time  alienated,  and  that  the  dangers 
of  extreme  measures  at  the  hands  of  an  excited  mob  were  ominous,  the  Ledger 
bravely  held  on  its  philanthropic  course,  and  lived  to  see  and  now  survives  the 
abolition  of  what  was  so  long  our  rebuke  in  the  eyes  of  other  nations.  The  first 
rotary  press  ever  built  M^as  used  to  print  the  Ledger,  April  9, 1847.  This  was  a 
four-cylinder  press,  invented  by  Richard  M.  Hoe.  The  proposition  to  place  type 
on  a  cylinder  and  whirl  it  around  was  scouted  as  an  absurdity  bs'-  nearly  all 
printers;  but  Mr.  Swain,  one  of  the  then  proprietors,  had  intelligent  faith  in 
Colonel  Hoe's  theory,  and  the  machine  proved,  as  is  well  known,  a  satisfactory 
success. 

The  great  increase  in  the  price  of  white  paper  and  labor  during  the  war 
rendered  the  publication  of  a  one-cent  journal  impossible  at  a  profit,  and  after 
having  lost  considerable  monej^  in  their  endeavors  to  supply  it  at  the  old  rates, 
Messrs.  Swain  &  Abell  determined  to  sell  out  the  entire  establishment.  This 
they  did  December  3,  1864,  and  the  following  Monday  Mr.  George  W. 
Childs  began  his  brilliant  career  as  the  publisher  of  the  Public  Ledgeij,  and 
received  a  warm  welcome  from  the  leading  journals  of  the  country,  to  which  he 
was  already  known  as  the  publislier  of  many  valuable  books.  Not  being  dis- 
posed to  follow  up  the  course  of  his  predecessors,  by  publishing  the  paper  at  a 
loss,  Mr.  Childs,  on  the  10th  of  December,  1864,  increased  the  subscription  price 
to  twelve  cents  per  week,  but  this  was  reduced  a  month  later  to  ten  cents— now 
twelve  cents.    Tlie  rates  of  advertising  were  also  advanced.    These  mutations

THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 


caused  many  to  predict  a  disastrous  decrease  of  support;  but  though  there 
was  an  imrnediate  declension,  it.  proved  only  temporary,  the  excellency  of  the 
paper  being  such  that  few  who  had  once  been  in  the  habit  of  regularly  perusing 
it  could  long  abstain  from  accoi'ding  it  patronage,  and  the  circulation  speedily 
recovered  and  steadily  increased,  until  in  the  first  three  months  of  1876  it 
reached  7,221,500  copies— a  daily  average  of  92,584. 


"LEDGER '■    BUILDING. 

The  building  in  which  the  Ledger  is  produced  is  among  the  grandest  struc- 
tural embellishments  of  the  Quaker  City,  and  as  a  newspaper  office  is  complete 
in  every  particular.  It  is  freely  open  at  all  times  to  citizens  and  strangers;  and 
it  is  estimated  that  not  less  than  one  hundred  thousand  persons  have  availed 
themselves  of  the  privilege  of  scrutinizing  the  establishment.  Nothing  that 
judicious  liberality  could  secm-e  has  been  left  undone  to  provide  for  the  comfort 
of  all  engaged  in  the  production  and  issue  of  the  paper. 

The  great  influence  exerted  by  the  Public  Ledger  is  largely  attributable  to 
the  care  that  has  for  many  j^ears  been  exercised  to  prevent  the  appearance  ot 
extravagant  statements  in  its  columns.  The  imperative  rule  is  to  understate 
rather  than  to  overstate.  Throughout  its  long  career  the  Ledger  has  advocated 
every  improvement  which  has  tended  to  increase  the  prosperity  of  Philadel- 
phia and  the  welfare  of  its  citizens,  often  in  the  face  of  strong  hostility ;  and 
the  wisdom  of  its  pleadings  has  been  demonstrated  by  the  benefits  which  have 
accrued  when  its  advice  has  been  followed.  The  Ledger  maj^  be  said,  among 
other  things,  to  have  created  a  class  of  advertisements  which  contributes  largely 
to  a  newspaper's  revenue.  "Wants,"  "Boarding,"  "  For  Sale,"  "  To  Let,"  &c., 
had  no  existence  as  they  now  appear  when  the  Ledger  started,  but  have  grown 
with  it. 

Ml-.  George  W.  Childs  has  enlarged  the  usefulness  and  widely  extended  the 
influence  of  the  Public  Ledger.  His  sagacity  and  tact  enabled  him  to  pilot 
his  paper  through  a  perilous  passage  in  its  course,  and  to  make  changes  in  its 
management  which,  in  less  skillful  hands,  might  have  proved  disastrous.  He 
has  pro  ed  his  capacity  and  fitness  to  conti'ol  a  great  journal,  which  is  at 
once  an  exponent  and  moulder  of  public  opinion,  and  a  power  in  the  land. 
Colleagued  with  his  rare  intellectual  qualities  is  a  goodness  of  heart  which  con-

stantly  manifests  itself  in  acts  of  considerate  benevolence,  and  added  to  these 
is  a  magnetism  of  manner  that  draws  and  attaches  to  him  multitudes  of  friends. 
"As  a  true  journalist,"  said  the  Hon.  John  T.  Hoffman,  ex-Governor  of  New 
York,  "  he  appreciates  and  understands  the  difference  between  the  liberty  of 
the  press  and  the  license  of  the  press.  He  deals  boldly  with  public  matters  and 
with  public  men  in  connection  with  them— but  he  is  always  careful  to  recol- 
lect that  private  character  is  private  property,  owned  by  that  most  sacred  of 
all  circles,  the  family  circle,  and  that  the  man  who  needlessly  assails  it  is  as 
much  a  criminal  as  if  he  robbed  the  household  of  its  dearest  treasures,  or 
plucked  from  it,  for  his  own  base  uses,  its  fairest  flower.  He  understands,  what 
I  wish  all  editors  in  America  understood,  not  only  the  power  of  the  press,  but 
its  proper  uses  and  its  great  mission ;  and  by  his  daily  conduct  and  life  declares 
his  opinion  that  the  man  who  owns  a  printing  press  and  can  use  a  pen  has  no 
more  right  to  indite  libels  and  stamp  private  reputation  than  the  owner  of  a 
uniform  and  a  sword  has  to  cut  and  kill  to  please  his  fancies  or  to  gratify  his 
malice," 


THE  BOSTON  JOURNAL. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEAVSPAFER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Boston  Journal  is  one  of  the  best  known  newspapers  published  in  New 
England,  having  been  established  in  1833.  It  occupies  its  own  building  at  264 
Washington  street,  and  is  printed  on  an  eight-cylinder  and  a  six-cylinder  Hoe 
press.  It  publishes  two  papers  daily,  Boston  Morning  Journal  and  Boston 
Evening  Journal.  The  sworn  statement  of  its  publisher,  subject  to  verifica- 
tion at  any  time  by  advertisers,  shows  an  average  daily  circulation  of  31,500  for 
the  months  of  January,  Februaiy,  March,  April,  and  May,  187G.  The  circulation 
for  the  last  week  prior  to  this  writing  is  as  follows  :

The  Journal  publishes  weekly  and  semi- weekly  editions.  The  weekly  has 
a  larger  circulation  in  New  England  than  any  paper  of  like  character  ei^.anat- 
ing  from  a  daily  newspaper  office  in  Boston.  The  official  postage  returns  show 
that  the  Boston  Journal  ranks  the  sixth  paper  in  the  United  States  in  the 
amount  of  matter  sent  through  the  mails.  The  Journal  is  published  by  the 
Journal  Newspaper  Co.,  Boston,  Mass.,  and  its  managers  are  Messrs.  S.  N.  Stock- 
well  and  Wm.  W.  Clapp.  It  is  a  political,  commercial  and  literary  newspaper. 
Its  enterprise  is  best  indicated  by  a  few  items  of  its  expenses  for  the  year  end- 
ing April  1,1876.  Telegraphic  expenses,  $33,302.70;  Editorial  and  News  Depart-

THE  SPIRIT  OF  THE  TIMES,  NEW  YORK. 

THE  LEADING  SPORTING  JOURNAL  OF  AMERICA. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


This  great  weekly  newspaper  is  as  well  known  throughout  this  country  as  the 
New  York  Herald  or  Harper^s  Magazine.  It  was  founded  in  1831,  in  compliance 
with  a  general  demand  for  a  journal  which  should  reflect  the  tastes  of  the  vast 
number  who  find  pleasure  in  the  sports  of  the  turf,  the  field,  the  water,  and  other 
pastimes,  sprang  at  once  into  popular  favor,  and  has  never  since  its  foundation 
failed  to  hold  its  position  as  the  recogiiized  authority  and  acknowledged  organ 
in  the  matters  to  which  its  broad  columns  are  specially  devoted.  Its  original 
editor  was  William  T.  Porter,  clarum  et  venerabile  nomen,  who  continued  in  its  sole 
charge  until  1856,  in  which  year  George  Wilkes  became  associated  with  him. 
Mr.  Porter  died  in  1859,  and  since  then  Mr.  Wilkes  has  most  ably  edited  the 
paper,  being  also  its  proprietor,  until  November  1, 1875,  when  E.  A.  Buck  became 
equally  interested  in  its  ownership,  and  assumed  editorial  control.  Great  as  had 
been  its  previous  popularity,  its  rapidly-increasing  circulation  under  the  new 
management  shows  that  it  still  holds  first  place  in  the  esteem  of  the  public. 
Labor  and  expense  are  lavisheil  upon  it  as  they  have  never  been  before,  and  the 
reading  community  is  always  quick  to  appreciate  generosity  in  its  behalf. 

The  Spirit  of  the  Times  has  always  been  noted  for  its  manly  and  independ- 
ent manner  of  dealing  with  all  sporting  questions  and  events.  Being  thoroughly 
informed,  it  knows  the  right  and  dares  to  pursue  it.  Fraudulent  practices  find 
in  it  not  an  apologizer,  but  an  armed  and  relentless  foe.  The  ti-ue  sportsman  is 
the  last  to  compromise  or  palter  with  rascality;  and  this  paper  has  well  earned 
the  right  to  be  considered  the  palladium  of  the  interests  of  the  true  sportsman. 

The  sphere  of  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  is  very  extensive.  It  has  sym- 
pathetically expanded  with  the  expanding  wants  and  tastes  of  those  to  whom  it 
is  the  special  organ,  until  it  now  issues  a  weekly  edition  of  twenty-eight  closely- 
printed  pages,  which  number  it  frequently  increases  to  thirty-two,  and  on  occa- 
sions to  thirty-six.  Each  number  contains  more  printed  matter  than  any  maga- 
zine or  other  periodical  published  in  tue  United  States.  Its  patrons  may  depend 
upon  it  that  everything  of  value  relating  to  outdoor  or  indoor  sports  will  find 
its  way  into  the  broad  columns  of  the  Spirit. 

Its  several  departments  receive  the  especial  attention  of  gentlemen  fully 
competent  to  maintain  them  at  the  highest  standard.  As  the  organ  of  the  turf, 
it  gives  most  complete  and  accurate  summaries  of  all  events,  besides  graphic 
reports  ot  the  more  important  meetings.  In  this  department  it  has  no  rival.  Its 
dramatic  and  musical  columns,  to  which  matters  several  pages  are  devoted 
weekly,  are  made  up  of  brilliant  and  incisive  critiques,  correspondence  from 
every  large  town  in  this  country  and  from  many  foreign  cities,  and  the  latest 
intelligence  ot  the  movements  of  stars.  In  this  department  it  is  admittted  to  be 
facile  princeps,\)oX.\\  at  home  and  abroad.  The  rising  interest  in  aquatic  sports 
and  rifle-practice  has  caused  a  full  page  to  be  set  apart  for  each  of  these  special- 
ties, edited  by  experts  in  their  respective  lines,  Avho  will  keep  fully  abreast  of 
the  times.  One  of  the  most  remarkable  features  of  this  journal  is  its  '  Answers 
to  Correspondents."  Questions  upon  every  imaginable  subject  from  all  parts  of 
the  country  are  showered  in  upon  it  for  decision,  and  receive  the  most  careful 
attention  and  prompt  and  correct  answers.  It  is  the  authority  for  the  decision 
of  wagers  throughout  the  United  States.  The  veterinary  department  is  con- 
ducted by  a  fully-educated  surgeon,  who  deals  conscientiously  with  every  case 
submitted.  Letters  are  continually  received  announcing  the  beneficial  results 
of  these  prescriptions,  which  are  afforded  gratis  to  all  who  take  the  paper 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPEES.  187 

regularly.  Besides  these  departments,  billiards,  atheletics,  chess,  etc.,  are 
given  due  attention.  P^ditorially,  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  is  the  organ  of  no 
person,  clique  or  party,  but  deals  fearlessly  with  all  questions  of  the  day.  Its 
contributed  articles  have  a  world-wide  tame. 

What  has  been  said  in  a  simple  statement  of  facts,  and  combined  with  the 
circumstances  that  the  circulation  of  the  paper  is  enoi-mous,  that  it  is  read  by 
the  wealthj^  and  money-spending  classes  as  well  as  by  the  vast  army  of  "  middle 
men"  who  are  the  strength  of  the  country,  that  it  goes  to  every  club  in  the  land, 
and  that  the  majority  of  its  subscribers  preserve  its  issues  in  permanent  form 
for  future  reference,  it  will  be  seen,  without  argument,  how  invaluable  it  is  as 
an  advertising  medium.  The  publishers  are  constantly  in  receipt  of  letters  say- 
ing, "  Mj"^  advertisement  in  the  Spirit  nas  brought  me  inore  applications  than 
those  in  all  the  other  papers." 

The  subscription  price  is  $5  per  annum,  in  advance,  for  which  the  paper  will 
be  sent,  postage  paid,  to  any  address.  All  communcations  should  be  sent  to

THE  AVALANCHE,  MEMPHIS,  TENN. 


A    SKETCH    FOR    THE   BOOK    OF   THE    CENTENNIAL    NEWSPAPER    EXHIBITION. 


In  the  front  rank  of  the  most  influential  and  valuable  newspapers  of  the 
West  and  South,  is  the  Avalanche,  of  Memphis,  Tenn.  This  powerful  and  widely- 
known  journal,  since  its  establishment  in  1857,  has  graduallj-  acquired  a  position 
of  which  no  competitor  can  easily  deprive  it.  Under  the  long-continued  judi- 
cious and  enterprising  management  of  its  present  publishers,  Messrs.  A.  J.  Kellar 
and  E..  A.  Thompson— the  latter  of  whom  associated  with  Mr.  Kellar  at  a  com- 
paratively recent  date— the  influence  of  the  Avalanche  has  signally  augmented 
in  those  wide  sections  where  the  paper  was  already  so  favorably  known,  and 
its  reputation  has  experienced  a  merited  extension  in  still  broader  regions.  Its 
publishers  have  proved  that  they  understand  fully  what  the  public  expects  of  a 
first-class  newspaper,  and  thej-  have  also  attested  their  ability  to  produce  and 
maintain  a  paper  amply  commensurate  with  those  expectations  of  the  public. 
The  Avalanche  is  manifestly  the  leading  independent  and  conservative  news- 
paper of  the  Southern  States.  It  is  issued  daily  and  weekly,  and  is  thickly  cir- 
culated throughout  Tennessee,  Arkansas,  Mississippi,  Alabama,  Kentucky, 
Missouri,  Western  Texas,  etc.  The  yearly  subscription  price  of  the  daily  is  ten 
dollars,  that  of  the  weekly  two  dollars,  and  special  rates  for  both  or  either  are 
allowed  to  clubs.  It  is  devoted  to  news,  politics,  commerce,  agriculture,  indus- 
tries, literature,  science,  and  the  development  of  Southern  interests,  both  mate- 
rial and  social.  To  use  its  own  words,  it  believes  in  the  Constitution  as  it  is,  in  the 
perpetuity  of  the  Union  of  the  States,  and  that  the  virtue  and  intelligence  of  the 
American  people  ax-e  equal  to  all  the  duties  of  self-government.  It  does  not 
propose  to  ally  itself  with  any  political  party  except  in  so  far  as  tliat  alliance 
may  accomplish  good  results.  It  does  not  look  to  nor  care  for  the  personal  or 
political  advancement  of  individuals,  unless  they  represent  vital  principles 
whose  enforcement  is  desirable ;  and  its  relations  to  all  existing  parties  are  such 
that  it  can  atfonl  to  be  fair  in  its  dealings  with  them— to  commend  that  in  them 
which  is  good,  and  to  condemn  that  which  is  liurtful.

These  important 
ournals  well  deserve 
a  ijrominent  place 
in  a  "  clescription  of 
the  great  newspa- 
pei's  of  the  day,"  and 
of  the  age,  on  ac- 
count of  their  high 
character,  great  in- 
fluence, and  their 
immense  circula- 
tion. The  first  named 
has  run  as  high  as  one 
hundred  and  fifty  thou- 
sand (150,000).  regular 
edition,  and  has  av- 
eraged fully  one 
Hundred  Thousand 
since  1S62.  For  many 
years  its  circulation 
has  far  exceeded  the 
comhined  editions 
of  at  least  half  a 
dozen  of  the  largest 
of  its  cotemporaries 
of  similar  character 
and  until  the  recent 
large  multiplication 
of  "agricultural  pa- 
pers,"' the  American 
Agriculturist  prob- 
ably equaled  or  ex- 
ceeded the  combined 
circulation  of  all 
the  other  agricultural 
and  horticultural  pa- 
pers in  America.  Its 
circulation  and  influ- 
ence extend  not  only 
all  over  the  United 
States  and  British 
America,  but  it  is 
very  largely  taken  in 
Australia,  in  the  va- 
rious English  settle- 

The  American  Agriculturist  is  one  of  the  highest  authorities  on  Plorticul- 
ture  and  kindred  subjects.  The  managing  editor,  Dr.  George  Thurber,  ranks 
with  Prof.  Asa  Gray  and  men  of  like  character  and  pursuits  at  home  and  abroad. 
While  well  versed  in  all  matters  connected  with  this  journal,  he  is  everywhere 
recognizad  as  one  of  the  foremost  in  a  knowledge  of  botany,  horticulture,  etc.  It 
would  be  a  novelty  to  find  in  the  American  Agricolturist  an  eri-oneous  recom- 
mendation, or  item,  in  botany,  horticulture,  or,  indeed,  on  any  other  subject. 
It  is  to  be  noted,  however,  that  the  American  Agriculturist,  though  taking 


ments  on  the  African 
coast,  and  indeed  al- 
most everywhere  in 
the  world  where  the 
English  language  is 
spoken;  while  the 
German  edition  finds 
many  readers  all 
through  Central  Eu- 
rope, Russia,  etc. 

The  above  facts  do 
not  favor  the  gen- 
eral opinion  that  far- 
mers, as  a  class, "  are 
more  given  to  hard 
work  than  to  reading 
about  it."  It  is  to  be 
noted  that  among 
economical  cultiva- 
tors a  wide  system  of 
'•lending"  and  "ex- 
changing "  papers 
prevails.  Statistics 
gathered  by  the  pub- 
lishers show,  for  ex- 
ample, that  in  a 
single  neighborhood 
there  were  107  fam- 
ilies, comprising  .506 
persons,  young  and 
old,  who  regularly 
read  the  twenty- 
three  copies  of  the 
American  Agricul- 
turist taken  at  that 
post-oflace— an  aver- 
age of  TWENTY-TWO 
READERS       TO       EACH 

COPY.  From  the  facts 
gathei-ed,  and  the 
above  ratio,  it  is 
probable  that  nearly, 
or  quite,  Two  Million 
(2.000,000)  persons 
read  this  journal. 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS.  189 

this  name  at  first  and  adhering  to  it,  is  not  exclusively,  by  any  means,  an  agricultu- 
ralor  horticultural  journal.  Its  motto  is  :  -'For  the  Farm,  Garden  and  Household." 
Its  FOKTY-FOUR  large  pages,  contain  much  "  plain,  practical  and  reliable  "  in- 
formation on  all  subjects  that  pertain  to  the  labor  and  physical  well-being  of 
the  people,  whether  they  live  in  City,  Village  or  Countrj^  It  is  largely  taken  by 
professional  men,  by  merchants  bj^  mechanics,  by  operatives  in  manufactories, 
who  cultivate  their  little  garden  plots— indeed,  by  all  classes.  (For  example,  its 
circulation  in  Massachusetts  alone  sometimes  runs  as  high  as  17,000  copies.) 

A  special  feature  of  the  American  Aqriculturisx  for  a  quarter  of  a  century 
has  been  its  unsparing  and  persistent  exposure  of  quackerj^  and  the  swindlers 
that  prey  upon  the  pockets,  the  health  and  the  lives  of  honest  people,  who,  with- 
out dishonest  purposes  themselves,  are  least  likely  to  be  suspicious  of  the 
■statements  and  assurances  of  others.  By  this  course  this  journal  has  saved  to 
Its  readers  and  to  the  country  many  millions  of  dollars  that  would  otherwise 
have  gone  into  the  pockets  of  harpies.  In  connection  with  the  above  may  be 
mentioned :  The  Advertising  rules  of  the  American  Agkiculturist,  which  are 
perhaps  more  strict  and  more  closely  lived  up  to  "  at  all  times  and  in  all  sea- 
sons,'" than  in  any  other  periodical.  Those  m  charge  of  this  Department  are 
under  positive  directions  to  rigidly  scan  every  advertisement  and  every  adver- 
tiser; to  admit  nothing  deceptive  in  substance  or  form;  to  exclude  all  quack 
and  other  medical  advertisements,  all  secret  things,  all  persons  suspected  of 
dishonesty— in  short,  "  every  person  offering  an  advertisement,  who  is  not 
known  personally  or  bj'^  good  and  well-established  repute,  is  required  to  fur- 
nish satisfactory  references  or  other  evidence  that  he  has  both  the  ability  and 
the  INTENTION  to  do  for  his  patrons  just  what  his  advertisements  promise." 

The  above  rules,  adopted  at  first  from  conscientious  motives,  have,  unex- 
pectedly to  the  publishers,  proved  a  financial  success,  and  furnished  an  exam- 
ple well-worthy  of  imitation  by  other  publishers.  The  readers  of  this  journal, 
knowing  the  strict  rules  of  the  publishers,  read  the  advertisements  and  respond 
to  them  with  confidence.  The  good  advertisers  receive  such  large  custom 
through  this  particular  journal,  that  they  find  it  to  their  interest  to  give  it  special 
attention  in  sending  out  their  businessnotices— no  matter  what  rules  or  requiie- 
ments  the  paper  may  be  compelled  to  adopt  to  keep  its  advertisements  within 
desirable  limits.  Thus  it  has  come  to  pass  that,  while  the  subscription  rates  of 
the  American  Agriculturist  have  been,  and  are,  kept  down  to  or  below  the 
cost  of  making  and  supplying  the  paper,  its  business  columns  have  made  this 
periodical  a  notable  financial  success,  unequaled  and  even  unapproached  by 
any  other  similar  journal  in  the  world. 

It  begins  the  New  Century  in  the  highest  vigor  and  influence,  and  1976  will 
doubtless  find  it  among  the  flourishing  institutions  of  that  day.  To  avoid  any 
interruption  of  its  business  or  its  arrangements  bj^  the  age  or  the  decease  of  any 
of  the  business  partners,  or  other  causes,  the  Management  was  in  1873  changed 
to  that  of  a  Chartered  Company,  taking  the  name  of  the  leading  editor  and 
publisher  for  many  years,  and  it  is  now,  therefore,  published  by  the  Orange 
JUDD  Company,  at  245  Broadway,  New  York. 

History.- The  American  Agriculturist  was  originated  in  April,  1842,  by  the 
venerable  A.  B.  Allen,  who  still  lives  in  retirement  at  Toms  River,  N.  J.  He 
employed  others  to  assist  in  publishing  and  editing,  having  a  diflerent  business 
growing  on  his  hands.  In  May,  1853,  he  called  to  the  editorial  chair  Mr.  Orange 
Judd,  who,  brought  up  as  a  farmer  at  the  West,  had  at  mature  age  sought  the 
advantage  of  a  collegiate  education,  and  after  some  years  of  subsequent  investi- 
gation, had  devoted  three  years  (1850—1853)  to  the  careful  study  of  agricultural 
chemistry,  and  agricultural  science  generally,  with  Profs.  Silliinan,  Norton,  etc., 
in  Yale  College.  After  a  short  service  as  editor,  Mr.  Judd  became  solo  pro- 
prietor, and  continued  thus  until  the  magnitude  of  the  business  required  him  to 
call  in  business  associates,  including  among  others,  Samuel  Burnham,  Esq., 
■who  has  now  been  a  "right  hand  man"  for  about  ten  years;  C.  C.  North,  Esq., 
the  present  treasurer,  who  came  in  in  1873.  In  1859  Mr.  Judd  called  to  his  editorial 
aid  Dr.  George  Thurber,  above  alluded  to,  who  has  since  given  untiring 
attention  to  this  journal,  and  also  is  now  chieflly  entrusted  with  the  editorial

management.  Among  its  editorial  and  contribnting  corps  may  be  named 
Henry  Stewart,  Col.  Geo.  E.  Waring,  Jr.,  Timothy  Bunker,  Esq.,  Col.  Mason 
C.  Weld,  A.  B.  Allen,  Peter  Henderson,  Prof.  Asa  Gray,  Prof.  W.  O.  Atwater,

THE  CHURCHMAN,  NEW  YORK. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Churchman  was  established  about  one-third  of  a  century  ago,  and  its  exist- 
ence was  continued  under  different  names  until  the  end  of  the  year  1S66,  with 
indifferent  pecuniary  success,  notwithstandiiig  its  editorial  management  was  at 
various  points  of  its  history  in  the  hands  of  very  able  men.  In  1S66  it  was  called  the 
Connecticut  Churchman,  and  its  actual  circulation  was  hardly  1,500. 

In  December  ot  that  year  it  was  purchased  by  the  present  proprietors,  and  from 
that  time  on  it  has  enjoyed  uniform  prosperity,  its  circulation  rising  rapidly  from 
1,500  up  to  17,500,  and  this  notwithstanding  its  subscription  price  is  larger  than  that 
of  any  other  religious  journal  in  the  United  States. 

This  growth  is  due  to  the  determined  perseverance  of  the  managers  in  their 
endeavor  to  make  The  Churchman  a  religious  paper  which  should  exhibit,  in  all 
the  matters  pertaining  to  its  specialty,  the  enterprise  and  the  literary  excellence 
of  the  best  secular  journals. 

It  occupies  confessedly  the  first  rank  among  religious  and  literary  weeklies. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  1S75  it  made  a  great  advance  in  meeting  the  need 
of  the  time.  In  effect  a  weekly  journal  of  high  character  is  a  magazine,  made  u})  of 
matter  which  merits  to  be  preserved  as  much  as  any  of  the  best  monthlies  or 
quarterlies.  Therefore  its  form  should  be  adapted  to  this.  Recognizing  the  prin- 
ciple, the  managers  of  The  Churchman  adopted  its  present  shape  and  size.  It 
contains  thirty-two  pages,  nine  by  thirteen  inches  in  size,  and  is  sent  to  subscribers 
most  conveniently  pasted  and  folded.  The  folding,  the  pasting  and  the  cutting  are 
done  by  one  process,  on  a  machine  built  expressly  for  The  Churchman. 

The  Churchman  is  the  most  reliable  exponent  of  the  attitude  and  the  prin- 
ciples of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 

It  represents  adequately  the  entire  Church,  and  is  not  an  organ  for  the  dissemi- 
nation of  merely  party  principles,  or  the  opinions  of  one  man  or  one  clique.  It 
gives  week  by  week  with  remarkable  promptness  all  Church  news,  and  treats  ahly 
the  civil  topics  of  the  day,  as  viewed  from  a  churchman's  standpoint. 

In  brief,  The  Churchman  is  a  weekly  magazine  of  ecclesiastical  intelligence 
and  devotional  and  general  reading,  and  is  the  largest  and  most  widely-circulated 
weekly  in  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church.  It  contains  each  year  one-half  more 
reading  matter  than  "  Harper's  Magazine,"  more  than  twice  as  much  as  the  "  Galaxy" 
or  " Scribner's,"  and  three  and  a  half  times  as  much  as  the  "Atlantic." 


THE  BOSTON  DAILY  ADVERTISER. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK  OE  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Boston  Daily  Advertis- 
er was  founded  in  1813.  In  the 
following  year  it  became  the 
property  of  the  late  Nathan 
Hale,  whose  connection  with 
it  only  ceased  with  his  death. 
Mr.  Hale  was  tho  fust  publish- 
er and  editor  of  a  i-ewspaper 
in  the  United  State  3  to  print 
editorials  daily  and  continu- 
ously, and  his  articles  very 
soon  acquired  a  national  repu- 
tation. His  v^ritings  wore  dis- 
tinguished by  breadth,  intelli- 
gence and  great  candor.  From 
the  first,  he  rigidly  excluded 
from  the  news  and  advertising- 
columns  of  his  paper  every- 
thing which  had  an  immoral 
intent  or  tendency,  and  this 
commendable  i*ule  is  still  ad- 
hered to.  Mr.  Hale  likewise 
kept  the  editorial  columns  ex- 
clusively under  his  control 
and  for  his  own  use;  and  the 
frequent  writings  of  Edward 
Everett,  Jared  Sparks,  William 
Ellery  Channing,  and  of  num- 
berless celebrated  men  of  the 
day  were  inserted  only  as  com- 
munications. The  editorials 
were  and  are  still  the  free  and 
untrammelled  expression  of  the  editorial  staff.  No  paper  in  the  United  States 
is  edited  with  greater  care  and  fidelity  or  with  a  more  strict  regard  to  the  inter- 
ests of  our  great  nation.  The  expenses  of  its  editorial  and  news  departments 
are  six  times  as  great  as  they  were  only  ten  years  ago.  Its  editor-in-chief  and  also 
its  financial  editor  are  proprietors,  and  constant  writers,  thus  inducing  the 
strongest  sense  of  responsibility  that  self-interest  can  create.  It  has  select  and 
able  special  correspondents  in  the  prominent  cities  of  Europe  and  this  country. 
It  makes  of  literary,  dramatic  and  fine  art  criticism  a  speciality,  with  the  ablest 
wi'iters  to_  be  had  on  its  staff.  The  result  is  a  large  and  increasing  circle  of 
readers,  both  in  the  business  and  the  literary  world,  and  among  the  very  best 
people  of  the  country.  Indeed,  the  paper  is  the  recognized  organ  of  the  banks 
and  other  luoaied  institutions  of  Massachusetts,  and  of  the  different  colleges 
and  other  literary  institutions  of  New  England. 

The  paper  is  located  in  a  handsome  building,  of  which  a  cut  is  herewith 
given,  on  Court  street,  and  on  the  site  of  the  very  structure  in  which  Benjamin 
Franklin  made  his  advent  as  a  journalist.  Its  composing  room  is  lolty  and  com- 
modious. Its  editorial  rooms  are  convenient  and  inviting;  they  occupy  the 
entire  fourth  floor.  The  counting  room,  mailing  room,  and  press  room  engross 
the  first  floor  and  basement.  To  accomplish  the  labor  of  printing  and  folding 
in  season  for  mails,  one  of  Hoe  &  Cos  fastest  ijresses,  and  four  folding  machines 
are  run.

THE  BALTIMORE  AMERICAN. 


A  SKETCH  FOll  THE  1500K  OF  THE  CEXTENNIAI.  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The    Baltimore   American 
was  established  August  20, 1773, 
by  Wm.  Gocldard,  a  native  of 
New  England,  and  is  now  one 
hundred   and  three  years  old, 
being  not  only  the  oldest  paper 
in  Baltimore,  but  also  one  of 
the  oldest  and  most  influential 
in  the  United  States.  It  was  first 
issued  as  the  Manjland  Journal 
and  Baltimore  Advertiser ,  a  name 
it  bore  until  1709,  when  it  was 
changed  to  that  under  which  it 
appears    at    the    present  day. 
The  Baltimore  American  and 
Commercial  Advertiser.    Mr. 
Goddard  conducted  the  journal 
until  1793,  and  from  that  time  to 
1S53  it  passed  through  several 
ditferent ownerships.  In  1S53  the 
firm  became  Hobert  A.  Dobbin 
and  Charles  C.Fulton  (the pres- 
ent senior  proprietor),  and  Avas 
conducted  under  that  firm  until 
1SG2,  when  Mr.  Dobbin  died  and 
Mr.  Fulton  purchased  his  inter- 
est, thus  becoming  sole  proprie- 
tor, associating  his  son   Albert 
K.  Fulton,  in  the  future  conduct 
of  the  paper,  and  at  this  period 
commenced  its  most  successful 
career,  which  has  remained  un- 
broken to  the  present  day.    It 
was    in    the    columns    of  this 
journal  that    our  national  an- 
them, "  The  Star  Spangled  Banner,"  first  saw  the  light,  having  been    set  up 
by  Mr.  Samuel  Sands,  a  gentleman  still  living,   a   few    hours    after   it   was 
originally    written   by  Mr.  Keys,  and  it  was   several   times    during  the  war 
of  1813  that  the  issue  of  the  paper  was  omitted  on  account  of  the  editors  and 
journeymen  being  engaged  in  repulsing  the  British  attacking  North  Point.  There 
are  other  very  interesting  circumstances  connected  with  the  history  of  the  Ameri- 
can, but  space  forbids  their  mention.  In  1875,  its  old  quai  ters  havingbeen  found 
too  contracted  for  its  steadily-increasing  business,  ahandsomeand  commodious 
edifice  was  erected  for  its  accommodation  on  the  corner  of  South  and  Baltimore 
streets,  and  the  American  is  now  the  possessor  of  one  of  the  finest  and  most 
imposing  newspaper  offices  in  the  country,  and  well  worth  a  visit  from  the  many 
travelers  in  transit  through  Baltimore  this  summer.    Its  counting-room  is  uni- 
versally conceded  to  be  the  handsomest  in  the  countr5\    Visitors  to  the  Centen 
nial  will  find  a  painting  of  the  building,  and  also  a  fac-simile  of  the  first  issue  ot 
the  American,  on  exhibition  in  tho  newspaper  building. 


THE    BALTIMORE  AMERICAN. 


THE  COURRIER  DES  ETATS-UNIS,  NEW  YORK. 


A  SKETCH   FOR  THE   BOOK  OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER   EXHIBITION. 


1828—1876. 


The  "COURRIER"  has  arrived  to-clay  at  that  period  ol  complete  development  to 
•which  a  half  century  of  hard  work,  independence  and  progress  lias  conducted  it. 

Started  on  the  1st  March,  1828— the  date  of  its  first  number— it  passed  through  many 
trials  and  difflculties  before  it  achieved  success,  and  Avas  assured  of  a,  permanent  ex- 
istence. The  idea  of  its- founder  Avas  an  ambitious  one,  viz.:  to  publish  in  the  States 
an  organ  in  the  French  language— the  language  of  the  higliest  European  society — and 
to  excite  attention  to  Frencli  literature,  which  at  that  time  was  entirely  ignored  in 
this  country.  xVt  that  time  there  was  no  question  of  politics  or  of  commerce,  manu- 
factures, international  interests  or  of  any  private  interests  ;  but  simply  to  intro- 
duce and  inculcate  the  taste  for-French  literature,  which,  in  consequence  of  the  very 
spirit  of  the  country,  has  not,  even  since  that  time,  made  the  progress  here 
which  could  naturally  have  been  expected.  However,  the  idea  succeeded.  With  its  8 
pages  in  quarto,  of  3  columns  each,  appearing  every  Saturday— at  the  annual  subscrip- 
tion price  of  $8— the  "Coukrier,"  from  its  very  commencement,  Avas  astonished  atits 
success.  Very  soon,  to  keep  pace  with  the  demand  for  it,  from  new  subscribers,  it  was 
obliged  to  reprint  its  earlier  numbers.  In  less  than  two  years  from  its  start  it  became 
a  semi- Aveekly  ;  to  its  Saturday  edition  Avas  added  one  on  Wednesday;  to  be  sure  it 
consisted  of  4  pages  only,  but  it  Avas  one  step  in  advance,  and  Avas  justified  by  the 
patronage  which  it  detained. 

However,  the  paper  changed  hands  several  times.  In  1829  it  passed  into  the  posses- 
:sion  of  Mr.  Felix  Lacoste,  avIio  died  consul-general  of  France  at  New  York  in  1859.  In 
1836  Mr.  Lacoste  transferred  the  "  Courrier  "  to  Mr.  Ch.  de  Behr,  AVho  Avas  succeeded 
by  Mr.  Frederic  Gaillardet. 

It  Avas  in  November,  1839,  that  Mr.  Gaillardet  took  the  editorship  of  the  "Courrier 
DES  Etats-Unis, "  aud  from  his  very  first  number  he  inaugurated  a  programme  which 
was  a  striking  success.  Mr.  Gaillardet  had  seen  clearly  the  brilliant  opening  that 
there  AA^as  for  a  French  newspaper  in  the  United  States.  He  said  in  substance — 
"  There  is  a  great  field  to  be  occupied  )jy  a  ncAvspaper  Avhich  can  become  both  the 
representative  and  the  defender  of  the  French  nation  in  America,  AVhich  Avill  uphold 
the  traditions  of  our  manners,  of  our  customs  and  of  our  language  amongst  the  popula- 
tion of  French  origin;  Avhich  can  ofi'er  itself  as  a  friend  and  ally  to  this  population  in 
upholding  its  native  idioms  and  ideas,  and  in  carrying  the  French  diction  to  all  parts 
of  the  new  Avoiid — it  Avill  sustain  and  rally  round  it  all  those  AVho  speak  this  language 
and  of  these  dilferent  scattered  members  it  shall  make,  if  it  be  possible  to  do  it,  one 
body  and  one  spirit." 

What  Mr.  Gaillardet  said  in  1839  Ave  think  to-day,  and  Ave  repeat  that  a  French  ncAvs- 
paper  in  America  has  no  higher  duty  and  no  position  more  useful  than  to  act  as  an 
intermediary  between  all  the  groups  of  French  nationality,  not  only  in  the  United 
States,  but  throughout  the  Avhole  of  the  new  world  ;  to  make  them  known  to  each 
other  ;  to  bring  them  together  as  much  as  possible  and  to  mutually  assist  them.  It  is 
this  idea,  constantly  and  energetically  carried  out,  Avhich  is  the  secret  of  the  greatest 
and  most  durable  successes  of  the  "  Courrier  des  Etats-Unis." 

It  is  this  idea  constantly  kept  in  view  by  all  those  connected  Avith  its  administration, 
since  the  time  of  Mr.  Gaillardet  up  to  the  present  date,  Avhich,  repeated  from  the  St. 
Lawrence  to  Cape  Horn,  has  caused  to  spread  in  all  the  cities,  tOAvns  {ir.cl  vilhiges  Avhere 
Frenchmen  are  to  be  found,  the  name  of  one  paper  especially  devoted  to  their  interests 
and   sufficiently  established   to  defend   them.    Thus  it   is  tluit,    little   by  little,   the 


194  THE    GREAT    NEWSPAPERS 

"CouRRiER  "  is  now  to  be  found  in  the  most  distant  points  of  the  American  continent^ 
and  that  it  is  welcomed  as  a  friend  in  all  tlie  French  homes  in  the  Canadas,  Louisiana,, 
the  Pacific  coast,  Mexico,  West  Indies,  and  in  Central  and  South  America. 

In  saying  this  we  do  not  fear  any  contradiction. 

There  may  be  great  diflferences  of  opinion  on  political  points,  or  on  any  other  matter 
which  is  open  to  controversy  ;  for  we  do  not  expect  everybody  to  hold  the  same 
opinions  as  ourselves;  but,  at  all  events,  we  fear  no  denial  when  we  proclaim  positively 
that  the  "Courrier,"  whilst  continually  reminding  Frenchmen  of  the  rights  which 
have  been  conferred  on  them  and  the  duties  which  are  imposed  upon  them  as  mem- 
bers of  the  American  family,  has  always  been  a  newspaper  thoroughly  French  ;  work- 
ing ardently  to  rally— in  the  name  of  the  mother  country— the  French  people  scattered 
throughout  the  vast  extent  of  the  American  continent ;  studying  their  wants,  sustain- 
ing their  rights,  and,  above  all,  encouraging  them  with  all  the  energy  in  its  power  to 
lay  aside  all  useless  differences  and  animosities,  and  to  remember  only  that  they  are- 
children  of  the  same  country,  and  that  their  highest  interest,  as  well  as  their  most 
imperative  duty,  is  to  hold  together,  to  sustain  and  to  help  each  other. 

Few  words  are  necessary  to  recall  the  progressive  steps  of  The  Courrier  from  its 
commencement  up  to  the  new  epoch  which  opens  to-day. 

As  we  have  previously  stated.  The  Courrier  des  Etats-Unis  dates  from  the  1st 
March,  1828.  Eighteen  months  after,  a  new  edition,  published  on  Wednesday,  wa.s- 
added  to  the  original  Saturday  one.  This  semi-weekly  edition  was  sufficient  at  thai, 
time,  when  the  news  from  Europe  only  reached  us  by  sailing  vessels,  and  when, 
besides,  the  postal  communications  with  the  interior  of  the  country  were  so  uncertain; 
that,  in  the  year  1833,  our  subscribers  in  Philadelphia  complained  that  they  only  re- 
ceived their  papers  three  days  after  publication. 

Mr.  Gaillardet's  connection  with  the  paper  was  coincident  with  the  inauguration  of 
trans- Atlantic  steam  navigation.  Then  commenced,  also,  the  publication  of  this  paper 
three  times  a  week.  The  exciting  period  of  1848,  in  its  turn  created  new  demands, 
calling  for  frequent  extras,  making  an  average  of  four  or  five  numbers  per  week. 
However,  it  was  not  until  three  years  later— namely,  in  May.  1851— that  the  regular 
daily  edition  was  commenced.  A  short  time  previously— namely,  in  the  preceding 
month  of  April— was  commenced  a  weekly  edition  of  sixteen  quarto  pages  specially  in- 
tended for  subscribers  scattered  throughout  the  interior  of  the  country  and  for  the 
benefit  of  our  American  readers.  Towards  the  end  of  the  same  year — in  November — 
The  Courrier  increased  the  size  of  its  paper,  thus  enabling  it  to  give  more  complete 
details  of  the  subjects  treated  about.  At  last,  on  the  1st  November,  1864,  the  paper 
was  still  further  enlarged  and  appeared  in  its  present  form.  Thus  nothing  further 
was  needed  (at  least  for  the  present)  but  the  Sunday  edition  to  meet  the  demands  of  a 
large  and  varied  circulation. 

To-day  The  Courrier  des  Etats-Unis  publishes  a  daily  edition  (seven  numbers  per 
week)*at  the  price  of  $12  per  year.  A  weekly  edition  especially  for  Europe,  same  size 
as  the  daily  edition,  at  $6  per  year.  A  weekly  edition,  containing  twenty  pages,  at  $5 
per  year. 

This  last  edition,  of  which  the  circulation  is  very  large,  goes  more  especially  into^ 
the  Western  States,  Louisiana,  Cuba,  the  West  Indies,  Mexico,  California,  and  all  the 
countries  on  the  Pacific  Coast  as  far  as  Chili. 

Such  is  the  present  position  of  The  Courrier  des  Etats-Unis,  and  it  is  a  source  of  much 
pleasure  to  us  to  acknowledge  that  its  progress  has  been  constantly  sustained,  en- 
couraged and  accelerated  by  the  sympathy  of  the  large  majority  of  the  French  resi- 
dents in  America.  We  thank  them  most  cordially,  and  assure  them  that  we  shall 
endeavor  in  the  future,  as  we  have  done  in  the  past,  to  merit  their  good-will  by  sus- 
taining their  special  interests  in  America,  whenever  the  occasion  therefor  arises,  and 
also  to  inspire  Americans  with  respect  and  love  for  France,  in  return  for  the  afTection 
and  respect  which  she  has  always  shown  to  their  country.

of  the  establishment.  It  also  contains  tiie  inner  and  private  olTlce  of  the  publislier, 
Isaac  W.  England,  Esq.,  who,  though  notokl  in  years,  is  a  veteran  in  newspaper  attairs. 
Mr.  England  is  widely  known  among  newspaper  and  business  men.  His  integrity, 
though  so  unbending  as  to  make  things  uncomfortable  for  those  who  have  "  crooked  " 
interests  to  serve,  is  tempered  witli  such  genuine  good  nature  and  consideration  for 
tlie  rights  and  feelings  of  others,  that  honest,  industrious  people  like  to  work  under 
his  authority'.  He  is  a  large  stockholder  in  The  Sun,  and  cherishes  an  enthusiastic 
affection  for  the  paper  which  vitalizes  and  reinforces  all  his  faculties,  and  enables  him 
to  thrive  bodily  on  his  labors,  as  well  as  pecuniarily  on  his  profits. 
Having  surveyed  the  Publication  Office,  let  us  now  ascend  to  the 

EDITORIAL  DEPARTMENT, 
or  "  Brain  Box,"  as  printers  call  it,  of  the  establishment.  This  is  situated  on  the  .liird 
floor,  and  consists  of  a  suite  of  four  spacious  rooms,  forming  an  L,  fronting  on  Printing 
House  Square,  and  running  along  Frankfort  street  the  whole  depth  of  the  building  from 
front  to  rear.  We  entei  ^'he  rear  room,  which  is  occupied  by  llie  reporters  and  editorial 
attaches  of  The  Sun  office — all  young  men,  full  of  vitality  and  enthusiasm,  who  love 
their  work,  and  are  proud  of  their  paper.  They  shirk  nothing,  but  are  always  ready 
to  start  for  Coney  Island  or  California,  for  Alaska  or  Australia  ;  to  take  part  in  a  rail- 
road collision  or  a  steamboat  explosion  ;  to  go  down  in  a  diving  bell  or  up  in  a  balloon. 
These  young  men  contribute  much  to  the  vivacity  and  variety  of  The  Sun,  and  are  to 
be  estimated  among  the  elements  of  its  success. 

From  the  reporters'  room,  we  pass  into  the  apartment  of  the  Managing  Editor. 

The  position  of  the  Managing  Editor  of  The  Sun  is  a  most  important  and  onerous 
one.  He  has  to  keep  a  wide-awake  eye  not  only  on  the  entire  city,  but  also  on  the 
Union  at  large,  and  has  the  wliole  reportorial  force  of  The  Sun  under  his  command. 
With  the  exception  of  such  persons  as  the  Editor-in-Chief  admits  to  an  audience,  the 
Managing  Editor  has  to  meet  all  inquirers,  and  pacify  or  discipline  all  grumblers,  and 
dispose  of  all  comers  who,  having  axes  to  grind,  visit  the  editorial  rooms  of  The  Sun 
for  the  purpose  of  having  them  brought  to  an  edge. 

Another  important  meml»erof  the  editorial  force  of  The  Sun  is  the  Night  Editor. 
The  Night  Editor  comes  on  duty  at  4  o'clock  P.M.,  and  stays  till  the  last  page  is  made 
up,  ready  for  the  stereotypers.  He  finds  out  what  has  been  done  by  his  associates 
before  he  came  in  ;  looks  over  the  proofs,  makes  needful  corrections,  and  decides  what 
must  go  in  the  paper  and  Avhat  can  be  omitted  ;  examines  and  condenses  correspond- 
ence which  comes  by  the  night  mail,  and  also  the  late  telegrams  ;  writes  notices  of 
important  matters  and  gives  directions  as  to  the  nature  and  length  of  late  reports,  and 
fixes  up  news  matters  outside  of  the  local  departments.  The  Night  Editor  holds  a 
position  of  great  responsibility;  inasmuch  as,  with  the  exception  of  such  articles  as 
the  Editor-in-chief  or  the  Managing  Editor  has  marked  "Must" — wiiich  means  that 
articles  thus  marked  nust  go  in— he  has  absolute  control  of  the  contents  of  the  paper; 
consequently,  on  his  judgment  in  selecting  articles  to  go  in,  the  character  of  the  paper 
of  the  next  morning  in  a  great  measure  depends. 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  there  are  the  City  Editor,  the  Day  Editor,  the  Financial 
Editor,  the  Political  Editor,  the  Market  Editor,  the  Literary  Editor,  the  Musical  Editor, 
the  Agricultural  Editor,  and  the  Mail  and  Weekly  Editor,  whose  several  functions  are  in- 
dicated by  their  titles.  Then  there  is  the  Ship  News,  and  the  Telegraphic  News, 
furnished  by  associations,  by  correspondents,  and  by  agents.  Then  there  are  the 
Special  Correspondents  stationed  in  the  important  cities  of  America  and  Europe.  Then 
there  is  the  army  of  Voluntary  Correspondents  which  the  enterprise  and  liberality  ol 
The  Sun  have  called  forth,  "  and  which  covers  the  land  for  multitude."  Nothing  of 
importance  can  occur  anywhere,  that  some  agent  or  friend  of  The  Sun  will  not  at 
once  telegraph  to  it,  or  describe  by  letter  in  case  there  be  no  telegraph  station  in 
reach.  Liberal  pay  inevitably  awaits  all  such  voluntary  news-senders  or  news-bringers 
at  The  Sun  office. 

And  still  further:  Besides  all  the  aforementioned  persons,  there  are  gentlemen  of 
high  culture  and  special  gifts  on  the  editorial  pay-roll  of  The  Sun,  who  constitute  a 
powerful  force,  and  are  able  to  furnish,  on  call,  articles  of  the  highest  merit  on  any 
subject  which  it  may  be  desired  to  discuss  in  the  columns  of  the  paper 

We  have  still  to  mention  the  most  important  member  of  the  editorial  force  of  The 
Sun,  to  wit :    Charles  A.  Dana,  Esq.,  the  EDrrou-iN-CniEF,  whose  function  is  one  oi 


198  THE     GEEAT    NEWSPAPEKS 

supreme  importance.  He  must  hold  ttie  entire  lorce  in  a  firm  V>ut  elastic  grasp, 
marslial  all  its  diverse  elements  into  harmony  without  impairing  their  incliviclualitieri, 
and  give  consistency  and  unity  to  t^.e  ereneral  sweep  and  purpose  of  the  journal.  He 
must  scan,  day  by  day,  the  events  of  trie  «rcr'.'\,  nnd  single  out  for  publication  and 
comment  those  which  are  either  of  the  most  general  or  special  importance,  and  indi- 
cate to  his  subordinates  what  they  are  severally  to  write  about,  what  the  scope  and 
tone  of  their  articles  shall  be,  and  what  shall  be  the  policy  of  The  Sun  on  every  subject. 
Mr.  Dana  is  the  largest  stockholder  of  the  Company,  and  the  editorial  monarch  of 
the  establishment.  His  sway  is  imperial  and  despotic.  IS^o  one  does  or  can  call  him 
to  account.  He  has  had  large  experience  in  newspaper  affairs,  in  subordinate  as  Avell 
as  controlling  positions.  He  has  been  reporter,  city  editor,  managing  editor.  New  York 
correspondent,  Washmgton  correspondent,  Paris  correspondent,  and  foreign  corre- 
spondent generally.  Like  Napoleon,  therefore,  he  knows  his  profession  through  all  its 
grades,  and  can  judge  and  do  justice  to  all  his  subordinates,  and  pity  all  their  woes 
because  he  has  felt  the  same.  He  has  a  wide  knowledge  of  public  affairs,  and  also  of 
business,  commercial  and  scholastic  matters  ;  has  traveled  much,  both  in  Europe  and 
America  ;  speaks  the  modern  languages  with  fluency  ;  has  an  intimate  acquaintance 
with  many  of  the  leading  scholars  and  statesmen  of  both  hemispheres  ;  is  familiar  with 
literature,  philosophy,  and  metaphysics  ;  sympathizes  with  the  progressive  and  ame- 
liorating movements  of  the  times  ;  has  always  been  an  audacious  and  plucky  newspaper 
belligerent,  but  fights  without  malice,  and  is  a  generous  conqueror.  Several  years 
ago  it  was  said  of  Mr.  Dana  : 

"  He  receives  the  hardest  blows  with  serenity  of  countenance  and  of  spirit,  as 
though  he  heard  gentle  angels  whispering  :  '  Peace,  Charles,  prithee  peace  !  Possess 
thy  soul  in  patience  and  bide  thy  time,  for  that  vain  man  weareth  a  scalp  wherewith, 
in  the  Providence  of  God.  thou  shalt  ere  long  adorn  thy  wigwam  !'  and  he  doth  possess 
his  soul  in  patience,  and  lie  also  bideth  his  time,  and  finally,  like  a  true  journalist,  he 
conspicuously  takes  the  scalp  of  the  offender  at  the  very  time  it  would  be  most  awk- 
ward for  the  victim  to  appear  in  society  bereft  of  tliat  ornamental  hereditament." 

This  declaration  seems  to  have  been  instigated  by  the  spirit  of  prophecy.  One 
after  another  the  foes  of  The  Sun  have  gone  down  before  the  prowess  of  its  "  Chief," 
until  there  is  no  other  wigwam  in  the  country  so  rich  in  scalps  as  Mr.  Dana's. 

Mr.  Dana  is  a  hard  Avorker.  The  Sun  is  his  pet.  He  loves  it  and  is  proud  of  it. 
He  keeps  a  vigilant  eye  upon  everything  ;  and,  like  his  subordinates,  is  ready  to  do 
any  piece  of  work  whatever  that  may  come  to  his  hand.  His  literary  and  editorial 
executiveness  is  surpassingly  prompt  and  decisive.  This  helps  him  to  go  through  his 
work  with  a  celerity  which  relieves  it  of  much  of  its  burdensomeness.  He  is  genial 
and  companionable  with  his  assistants,  but  no  one  can  more  effectively  assume  the 
imperial  role  when  distinctions  of  position  should  be  made  apparent,  and  the  lines  of 
order  should  be  sharply  drawn. 

Mr.  Dana  is  in  all  respects  a  prosperous  gentleman.  His  copyright  as  editor  of 
Appleton's  New  American  Cyclopeaia  is  large,  his  receipts  for  salary  and  di\qdends 
from  The  Sun  are  much  greater,  and  altogether  he  has  a  most  princely  income. 

The  members  of  the  editorial  force  of  The  Sun,  one  hundred  and  five  in  number, 
are  loyal  to  the  paper,  and  to  one  another,  from  the  Chief  to  the  lowest  member  of  the 
staff.  The  reporters  stand  by  The  Sun  ;  the  Managing  Editor  stands  by  the  reporters; 
and  the  Editor-in-Chief  stands  by  the  entire  force.  This  is  an  important  point,  and 
gives  a  unity,  and  enthusiasm,  and  self-reliance  to  the  men  which  nothing  else  could 
inspire. 

And  now  let  us  see  how  all  the  work  done  by  this  array  of  accomplished  and  indus- 
trious men  is  finally  brought  to  a  focus  in  the  pages  of  The  Sun. 

It  is  10  o'clock  at  night  as  we  mount  to  the  editorial  rooms.  The  apartment  of  the 
Editor-in-Chief,  in  the  northeast  corner  of  the  edifice,  looking  out  upon  City  Hall  Park, 
is  all  aglow.  Ordinarily  he  only  comes  down  at  night  to  take  a  general  survey  of  affairs 
and  look  over  his  proofs,  but  to-night  matters  of  uncommon  importance  have  come  to 
hand,  and  he  is  at  his  post,  with  a  full  staff,  at  a  later  hour  than  usual. 

Everybody  sfeems  to  work  as  though  under  whip  and  spur.  Reporters  from  the 
public  lueetings,  fires,  fights,  and  scenes  of  accideni-  and  crime,  rush  m  with  their 
notes  and  set  to  work  as  if  for  life.  Messengers  hurry  to  and  fro  from  telegraph 
offices.  Other  messengers  likewise  hurry  to  and  fro  from  divers  other  points.  Visitors 
come  hurrying  in,  all  out  of  breath,  wanting  to  see  the  Managing  Editor  or  the  Chief, 
on  matters  ol-pressiug  importance,  and  all  are  disposed  of  with  promptness,  celerity 


OF    THE    UNITED    STATES.  199 

and  courtesy.  Mangled  ami  tumbled  papers  from  the  city,  the  country,  and  the  utter- 
most parts  of  the  civilized  world,  lie  in  heaps  upon  the  floors.  The  pens  scratch,  the 
scissors  click,  the  Chiefs  bell  rings  sharply  out  for  the  boy,  a*nd  the  "condensers  "— 
three  men  whose  only  business  is  to  take  the  core  out  of  correspondence,  reports  and 
extracts,  and  articles  from  other  papers— are  "refining  as  with  a  refiner's  fire  "  the 
matter  which  is  to  appear  in  the  morning's  paper. 

The  space  in  The  Sun  is  too  valuable  to  admit  anything  except  the  very  cream 
and  marrow  of  the  news  and  information  to  its  columns  ;  wherefore,  telegrapliic  dis- 
patches are  reduced  to  "  Sparks,"  long  communications  to  paragraphs,  paragraphs  to 
•"Personals,'  and  articles  to  "  Jottings." 

The  Sun  Condensers  are  men  who  can  see  at  a  glance  what  is  interesting  in  an 
article,  and  what  is  useful,  and  what  is  needful,  and  what  is  of  no  account  ;  and  they 
*'  kill  "  without  mitigation  or  remorse. 

And  now  midnight  approaches  ;  the  turmoil  has  died  away  ;  the  Chief  and  his 
immediate  staff  have  disappeared;  the  reporters  have  gone,  except  a  few  who  have  but 
recently  come  in  ;  and  the  Managing  and  Night  Editors,  with  a  few  trusty  assistants, 
are  all  that  remain  on  du^y.    And  now  let  us  "  follow  copy  "  up-stairs  to  the 

COMPOSING   ROOM, 
Inhere  the  type-setters  ply  their  nimble  fingers. 

The  composing  room  of  The  Sun  office  is  a  fine,  light,  airy  apartment,  and  is  fitted 
^ip  with  the  utmost  elegance  and  convenience.  Tlie  exact  cost  of  the  outfit— including 
type,  furniture,  and  materials  for  stereotyping— was  $12,290.72.  The  regular  force  of 
•compositors,  or  type-setters,  is  sixty-five  ;  and  a  fine-looking,  intelligent  company  of 
men  they  are. 

The  compositors  have  been  at  work  for  many  hours.  They  take  it  easily  at  first, 
from  3  P.M.  to  5  ;  then  there  is  a  recess  of  two  hours,  and  at  7  o'clock  they  come  back 
for  the  real  work  of  the  day,  and  stay  till  2  o'clock,  A.M.,  or  as  much  longer  as  may  be 
.necessary.  As  a  usual  thing,  when  2  o'clock  comes,  all  but  four  of  the  compositors  are 
allowed  to  go,  and  the  four  retained  are  kept  till  the  paper  is  sent  to  press.  The  com- 
positors work  by  the  piece,  and  their  average  earnings  are  $25  a  week  ;  but  some  ol 
them  make  $45  a  Aveek,  when  they  do  their  best. 

After  the  type-setters  have  been  at  work  for  an  hour,  or  less,  the  proof-taker  begins 
liis  work.  The  type  whicli  has  been  set  is  put  in  an  orderly  way  and  fastened  in  its 
place  on  long  brass  beds  called  galleys,  which  are  then  run  under  the  proof-press, 
"Whereby  impressions,  or  proofs,  are  taken  on  long  slips  of  paper.  These  are  sent  to 
the  proof-readers,  who  read  them  over  for  errors,  and  mark  all  mistakes  on  the  mar- 
gins of  the  proofs,  which  are  then  taken  back  to  the  compositors,  who  correct  the 
errors  in  the  type,  after  which  new  proofs,  called  revises,  are  taken,  to  see  if  every- 
thing is  right.  If  any  errors  are  found  in  the  revises  they  are  also  marked  and 
corrected;  and  when  everything  has  been  at  last  set  right  in  a  galley  of  type,  it  is 
transferred  to  the  make-up  table;  that  is,  to  the  table  where  the  type  is  finally  pat  in 
the  forms  or  pages  of  the  newspaper. 

About  11  o'clock  the  foreman  of  the  composition  room  sends  word  to  the  Night 
Editor  that  he  is  ready  to  "make  up;"  that  is,  that  he  is  ready  to  put  the  type  into 
the  pages,  and  send  them  to  the  stereotypers.  On  receiving  this  notice  the  Night 
Editor  appears  with  a  separate  set  of  proofs,  taken  expressly  lor  him,  and  over  which 
he  has  been  studying  and  working  for  several  hours. 

There  is  already  matter  enough  in  type  to  fill  the  columns  of  the  paper  twice  over, 
find  more  is  coming  all  the  time.  The  telegraphic  lightnings  are  pouring  it  in;  the 
reporters  are  writing  it  out  by  the  column;  and  messengers  are  coming  with  all 
manner  of  communications— "  \"ery  important,  sir,  and  must  appear  in  the  morning's 
paper,  sir." 

And  so  the  Night  Editor  works  away,  studying  over  his  proofs,  gradually  singling 
out  what  must  go  in,  whether  or  no,  and  no  mistake;  also  what  may  be  left  out;  also 
-what  sJiall  be  left  out.  When,  therefore,  he  receives  notice  from  the  foreman  of  the 
composition  room,  that  he  is  ready  to  "make  up,"  the  Night  Editor  goes  up  to  the 
fifth  story  with  a  clearly  defined  purpose.  Under  his  direction  the  foreman  rapidy 
lifts  column  after  column  of  the  news  and  editorials  into  the  form  Avhich  is  to  con- 
.atitute  the  second  or  editorial  page  of  the  next  morning's  Sun.  The  last  page  and  the 
third  page,  composed  largely  of  advertisements,  have  already  been  made  up  and  sent 


200  THE     GREAT     NEWSPAPERS 

to  the  stereotypers.     The  first  page,  which  is  the  last  one  made  up,  is  yet  to  come- 
Meanwhile,  let  us  step  into 

THE  STEREOTYPING  ROOM 
ami  see  what  the  Vulcans  are  about. 

The  stereotyping  room  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  departments  of  The  Sun 
establishment.  It  is  occupied,  and  the  stereotyping  process  performed  by  eight  splendid 
fellows,  whose  brain  and  muscle,  as  well  as  their  skill  and  fidelity,  are  of  a  high  grade. 

The  stereotyping  process  is  peculiar,  and  differs  widely  from  that  in  ordinary  use. 
The  Bullock  presses  used  in  printing  The  Sun  require  stereotype  plates  which  can  be- 
affixed  to  their  cyMnders,  and  hence  the  plates  must  be  cast  in  half-circles;  and  they 
must  be  cast,  too,  with  the  utmost  expedition  and  in  unusual  numbers.  There  are 
seven  presses  used  by  The  Sun,  each  of  which  prints  two  complete  copies  of  the  paper 
at  an  impression.  Therefore,  no  less  than  fourteen  complete  sets  of  plates  have  to  be 
cast  for  The  Sun,  .50  that  it  can  have  fovrteen  papei's  printed  consentaneously,  in 
order  to  get  off  its  immense  edition  xoithin  the  brief  period  between  the  hour  when  the 
paper  goes  to  press  and  the  time  of  its  delivery  to  buyers,  and  at  the  post-office  for  the 
early  mails.    The  process  of  stereotyping  is  performed  in  this  wise : 

The  flat  page  of  type  is  first  warmed  on  a  hollow  iron  table  heated  by  steam, 
then  a  sheet  of  thick  paper,  such  as  steel  engravings  are  printed  on,  which  is  chemi- 
cally prepared  by  soaking  in  a  mixture  until  it  becomes  nearly  of  the  consistency  of 
paste,  is  laid  upon  the  face  of  the  type,  and  beaten  down  with  a  heavy  and  stiff  brush, 
until  every  letter,  rule,  and  point  is  perfectly  moulded  in  the  soft  mass  of  paper.  AIL 
hollow  places  are  then  filled  up  with  a  preparation  of  plaster  of  Paris;  after  which 
another  sheet  of  the  prepared  paper  is  laid  upon  the  first,  and  beaten  down  in  the 
same  manner.  By  this  means  a  substantial  matrix  of  the  entire  page  is  formed.  The 
type  and  matrix  are  then  swathed  in  blankets,  placed  on  the  hollow,  steam-heated 
table,  run  under  a  press  on  one  end  of  the  table,  and  suV)jected  to  a  heavy  pressure, 
while  at  the  same  time  it  is  baked  by  the  heat.  It  is  then  taken  out  and  the  paper 
matrix  is  removed  from  the  type.  It  is  firm,  but  pliable,  and  capable  of  resisting  a 
high  degree  of  heat.  It  is  the  flexibleness  of  the  matrix,  even  more  than  the  celerity 
wath  Avhich  it  can  be  produced,  which  gives  it  its  peculiar  value;  for  it  is  its  flexible- 
ness which  enables  a  cylindrical  plate  to  be  cast  from  it. 

After  the  matrix  has  been  perfected  as  above  described,  it  is  placed  in  a  reversed 
position  in  an  iron  mould  of  the  exact  curvature  of  the  press  cylinder;  the  melted 
type  metal  is  then  poured  in,  and  in  two  minutes  a  stereotype  plate  of  the  page  of 
type  in  the  form  of  a  half-circle  is  taken  out  and  handed  over  to  the  trimmers  to  be 
fitted  to  the  press  cylinder;  the  mould  is  again  filled  with  metal,  and  another  plate  is 
cast;  and  so  the  process  goes  on,  until  fourteen  casts  of  each  page  have  been  taken, 
trimmed,  and  sent  down  to  the  press-room. 

\Ye  will  now  step  on  the  elevator  along  with  a  set  of  the  stereotype  plates  and 
descend  with  them  to 

THE  PRESS-ROOM. 

The  Press-Room  is  situated  in  the  basement  of  the  edifice,  and  is  a  most  capacious 
apartment.  When  we  arrive  at  the  press-room,  at  half  past  one  o'clock  in  the  morn- 
ing, matters  are  in  no  very  lively  trim.  Everything  is  quiet.  There  is  not  yet  even 
a  hiss  of  steam.  Stalwart  men  are  stretched  out  on  huge  piles  of  paper,  fast  asleep. 
Some  of  them  lie  face  downward,  with  their  arms  stretched  out  at  full  length,  and 
sleeping  as  though  they  would  never  again  wake.  Others  are  lying  all  in  a  heap,  others- 
flat  on  their  backs,  showing  grimy  but  honest  faces;  and  all  are  sleeping  soundly. 
Other  men  are  bringing  in  huge  rolls  of  paper  from  the  dampening  room  and  arranging- 
them  conveniently  at  hand  for  the  pressman. 

Tlie  Bullock  press,  on  which  The  Sun  is  printed,  prints  from  a  continuous  sheet, 
which  is  wound  up  in  the  form  of  a  huge  cylinder.  The  machine  for  wetting  down  or 
dampening  the  paper  is  so  constructed  that  it  unwinds  it  from  one  roll  and  at  the 
same  time  winds  it  up  into  another  roll;  and  as  the  paper  thus  pa.sses  from  one  roll  to 
another  it  is  subjected  to  a  uniform  shower  of  the  finest  spray,  which  dampens  it  in 
every  fibre  to  just  exactly  the  degree  which  is  requisite  for  it  to  print  to  the  best 
advantage— the  construction  of  the  press,  the  rapidity  of  the  motion,  and  the  force  of  the- 
pressure,  all  considered.  Attached  to  the  dampening  machine  is  an  invention  of  Mr.. 
England's,  which  ingeniously  measures  the  roll  of  paper  and  tells  just  how  many  Suns 
it  will  make.    This  is  done  for  the  purpose  of  checkinu-  the  tendency  of  paper  manufac- 


OF    THE    UNITED    STATES.  201 

turers  to  put  so  much  body  in  their  stock  that  a  roll  of  paper  of  given  weight  sometimes^ 
falls  short  in  length  to  the  extent  of  many  copies  of  The  Sun. 

And  now,  as  the  pressnlen  have  Ijegun  to  Avake  up,  and  are  beginning  to  put  the- 
stereotype  plates  on  the  cylinders,  and  the  steam  begins  to  give  tokens  of  its  coming, 
let  us  go  up  to  the  composition  room  again,  where  over  the  first  parre  of  The  Sun  the 
final  struggle  of  matter  against  space  is  to  begin.  "This,"  says  Jie  Night  Editor, 
pointing  at  it  as  he  speaks,  "  is  the  costliest  page  on  this  planet."  It  is  now  half-past 
one  o'clock  A..M.  The  form  must  be  in  the  stereotyper's  room  in  fifteen  minutes. 
There  is  matter  enough  on  the  make-up  table  to  fill  four  pages,  and  every  line  of  it  is 
important.  What's  to  be  done  ?  especially  as  a  fresh  batch  of  copy  has  just  come  up- 
marked  "MUST,"  from  the  Managing  Editor,  who  is  still  hard  at  work  below.  No^v  is 
seen  the  value  of  understanding  every  part  of  one' s  business,  especially  the  mechanical 
part.  Tiie  Night  Editor  is  a  practical  printer,  copy-cutter,  proof-reader,  anything  and 
everything  tliat  may  be  needed.  He  looks  over  the  type— does  not  have  to  resort  to 
the  proofs— and  orders  out  this  and  cuts  down  that,  and  reads  the  proof  of  new  articles. 
from  the  type— and  finally  "Good  Night"  comes  from  the  telegraph  offices— and  the 
page  is  completed,  and  the  form  is  locked  up  (that  is,  fastened  so  the  type  cannot 
fall  out)  and  trundled  into  the  stereotyper's  room  exactly  at  1.5  minutes  to  2  o'clock  A.M. 
And  now  look  at  the  stereotypers.  They  are  also  on  the  home-stretch,  and  how 
magnificently  they  work.  Every  man  knows  just  exactly  what  to  do,  and  does  it  to 
perfection  just  in  the  nick  of  time  ;  and  the  total  result  is  that  four  casts  of  the  first 
page  of  The  Sun  are  on  their  way  to  the  lower  regions  in  just  twenty  minutes  from 
the  time  the  stereotypers  received  the  form.  That  is  only  five  minutes  to  a  cast. 
The  other  ten  casts  follow  at  a  more  rapid  rate. 

From  the  stereotype  room  we  now  go  down  to  the  publication  office,  to  see  the- 
newsmen  and  newsboys  buy  their  checks.  When  the  delivery  of  the  paper  begins, 
which  will  be  in  a  few  minutes,  the  rush  will  be  so  great  that  there  will  be  no 
time  to  make  change  ;  and  so  newsmen  and  newsboys  provide  themselves  with  metal 
checks,  about  the  size  of  a  two-cent  piece,  on  which  is  stamped  the  number  of  papers, 
for  which  they  have  paid.  If  a  newsboy  wants  12  papers,  he  pays  16  cents— The  Sun 
is  sold  to  him  at  1)^  cents  a  copy— and  receives  a  check  which  entitles  him  to  12  papers. 
Tliis  check  he  presents  to  the  man  below  of  whom  he  gets  his  papers,  who  de- 
livers his  12  Suns  to  him,  and  di-ops  the  check  through  a  hole  in  the  delivery  coun- 
ter, into  a  box  kept  for  the  purpose.  The  smallest  check  calls  for  three  papers,  and 
the  largest  for  eight  thousand. 

On  entering  the  publication  office,  we  find  a  number  of  men  and  boys  buying  their 
checks,  and  several  tired  little  fellows  lying  asleep  on  the  floor  ;  and  on  the  grating 
outside,  through  which  the  warm  steam  and  hot  air  come  up,  are  other  children  also 
lying  asleep.  It  is  a  raw  and  chilly  morning,  and  the  "iron  bedstead,"  as  the  little 
fellows  call  the  grating,  aflfords  them  a.  luxurious  couch,  through  which  the  warmth 
comes  upon  their  pinched  and  withered  and  ill-clad  bodies  like  airs  from  Heaven. 

And  now  back  to  the  press-room  again.  At  7  minutes  to  2  the  first  press  starts  and 
delivers  200  papers  a  minute.  In  a  few  minutes  the  counters  begin  to  count  off,  and 
get  the  papers  ready  for  delivery  to  the  newsboys  and  newsmen.  At  2  minutes  after 
2  the  second  press  begins  to  throw  of  its  200  Suns  a  minute.  At  9  minutes  after  2  the 
third  press  starts  ;  and  so  they  keep  on  until  all  the  presses  are  running  and  throw- 
ing oflT  fourteen  hundred  Suns  a  minute,  two  of  the  presses  printing  .300  papers  a  min- 
ute each.  Although  the  Sun  now  has  seven  presses  in  operation,  the  popular  demand 
is  so  constantly  increasing  that  it  has  ordered  another  of  double  size,  and  the  capacity 
of  50,000  per  hour,  which,  after  being  shown  at  the  Centennial  Exhibition,  will  be  set 
up  in  the  press-room. 

The  counting  of  the  papers  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  astounding  perform- 
ances in  the  whole  business.  There  is  one  man  who  counts  300  a  minute,  and  another 
who  can  count  400  a  minute.  Let  the  readers  ol  this  article  try  to  count  400  a  minute  on 
their  fingers,  or  try  to  count  400  pins  or  400  peas  in  a  minute,  and  they  will  get  some 
notion  what  it  is  to  count  that  number  in  that  time. 

The  fact  is,  the  counting  of  newspapers  in  the  Sun  office  has  been  refined  into  an 
art  as  delicate  as  that  of  piano  playing,  and  it  is  performed  very  much  in  the  same 
way.  The  counter  throws  a  pile  of  damp  papers  on  the  table,  strikes  the  heap  in  Ihe 
stomach  with  his  left  hand,  twitches  up  the  edges  with  his  right  so  that  they  stand 
slightly  apart,  and  then,  Avith  the  fingers  of  his  left  hand  runs  them  oflT  in  groups  of  five,.

THE     GREAT    NEWSPAPERS 


almost  exactly  as  a  pianist  runs  oil"  arpeggios  on  his  instrument,  and  with  an  equal 
precision  and  delicacy  of  touch. 

The  papers  are  usually  counted  off  in  bundles  of  fifty,  but  sometimes  in  larger 
quantities.  The  delivery  of  the  papers  to  the  buyers  begins  at  half-past  three.  The 
number  taken  by  the  different  buyers  the  morning  we  were  present  varied  from  3  to 
27,000.  The  three  were  taken  by  a  little  boy  about  seven  years  old,  the  27,000  by  a 
newsdealer,  and  we  are  informed  tliat  the  whole  number  delivered  by  a  quarter  past  5 
o'clock  was  126,600.  The  additional  sales,  and  the  papers  sent  to  mail  subscribers, 
brought  the  whole  number  up  to  138,993. 

Having  thus  followed  the  New  York  Sun  through  its  entire  daily  and  nightly 
growth,  from  the  first  article  vrritten  to  the  point  where  the  presses  are  dropping 
fourteen  hundred  complete  copies  a  minute  at  our  feet,  we  now  take  our  leave,  and 
take  a  Third  Avenue  car  for  up-town.  By  the  time  the  car  arrives  opposite  The  Sun  of- 
fice it  is  comfortably  filled,  and  a  newsboy  ruslies  in  it,  crying  "  Here's  your  New  York 
Sun,"  and  sells  four  papers  on  the  spot.  We  look  at  the  City  Hall  clock  :  it  is  just  48 
minutes  past  3  o'clock.    Tlwis  early  does  the  sale  of  The  Sun  in  the  streets  commence. 

The  number  of  persons  employed  in  The  Sun  office  is  two  hundred  and  forty-nine. 
The  expenses  of  the  establishment  for  the  week  ending  March  11,  1876,  were  fifteen 
tUousand  eight  liundred  and  seventeen  dollars  and  seventeen  cents  ($15,817.17),  and  it 
was  not  an  expensive  week  either,  the  items  of  which  are  as  follows  :

Steam-power, 70. 00 

Postage, 330.68 

General  expenses, 750.00 

Total  for  the  week,  $15,817.17 


Dividing  this  amount  by  seven,  it  gives  a  daily  average  of  $2,259.59,  the  outlay  incur- 
red that  every  buyer  of  The  Sun  may  get  his  copy  for  two  cents.  If  a  buyer  of  The 
Sun  were  to  set  to  work  to  make  the  copy  which  he  gets  for  two  cents,  he  couldn't  be- 
gin to  do  it  for  $2,259.59,  without  first  incurring  an  outlay  of  a  fortune  to  start  with, 
and  then  spending  a  quarter  of  a  century  or  so  in  learning  how  to  do  it. 

The  expenses  of  The  Sun  are  so  enormous  that  one  naturally  wonders  where  the 
profits  come  in.  They  come  from  the  sale  of  the  papers  and  from  subscriptions  and 
advertisements. 

In  addition  to  their  enormous  daily  issue.  The  Sun  Printing  Comp.\ny  publish  The 
Sunday  Sun  (8  pages),  at  $1.20  a  year,  and  The  Weekly  Sun  (8  pages),  at  $1.20  a  year. 
The  Weekly  Sun  is  intended  more  particularly  for  country  circulation,  and  is  filled 
only  with  the  choicest  news  of  most  interest  and  value  to  those  who  do  not  care 
to  take  the  New  York  daily  papers.  Great  care  is  bestowed  upon  its  agricultural  and 
market  reports  ;  the  farmer  and  the  country  merchant  are  provided  with  such  items 
of  intelligence  as  most  closely  enter  into  the  warp  and  woof  of  their  prosperity,  and  the 
matron  and  children  are  not  forgotten,  but  are  supplied  with  such  genial  and  instruct- 
ive reading  matter  as  one  loves  to  peruse  in  the  family  circle  and  enjoy  Avith  those 
who  sit  around  the  same  hearth.stone. 

It  was  supposed  to  be  a  dangerous  experiment  for  The  Sun  Comp.\ny  to  attempt 
to  publish  a  two-cent  paper  at  a  cost  surpassing  that  of  any  four-cent  paper.  But 
the  experiment  has  succeeded  so  well  that  The  Sun  could  now  live  without  an  adver- 
tisement, and  Mr.  Dana's  policy  is  always  to  make  advertisements  give  way  to  the 
news.  The  people  appreciate  such  enterprise  and  liberality,  and  The  New  York  Sun 
is  having  greater  success  than  ever  before.  It  is  emphatically  t?ie  2yeopIe's  paper.  It 
always  stands  by  the  workingmen  and  all  movements  for  the  improvement  of  tlie 
condition  of  the  masses,  when  they  need  support  ;  and  it  also  stands  by  them  in  an 
effective  mann'er.  It  does  them  downright,  substantial  service.  It  also  always  takes 
the  lead  in  exposing  corruption  in  high  places,  and  in  bringing  the  p-^ople's  unfaithful 
servants  to  the  bar  of  public  opinion.  For  these  and  many  similar  reasons.  The 
Sun  has  a  strong,  enduring  hold  on  the  affections  of  the  masses  and  the  confidence  of 
the  nation  at  large. 

And  then  the  fact  that  it  gives  all  the  news  of  the  Associated  Press  at  one-half  the 
price  which  the  other  papers  of  the  Association  charge  for  it,  in  addition  to  what  its

203 


own  exclusive  enterprise  furnishes,  and  the  fact  that  it  gives  the  combined  results  of 
the  labor  and  brains  of  two  hundred  and  forty-nine  men,  winnowed  of  all  chalT,  skimmed 
of  all  scum, and  purged  of  all  sediment— the  fact,  in  short,  that  it  every  morning  gives 
•every  one  of  its  buyers  $2,259.59  for  two  cents,  places  the  ever  growing  prosperity  of 
The  New  York  Sun  beyond  all  question.  Its  compactness  is  also  a  strong  point  in 
its  favor.  One  can  attack  its  contents  with  a  fair  hope  of  being  able  to  master 
them  within  a  reasonable  period. 

In  the  antediluvian  days,  when  human  beings  lived  away  up  towards  the  thou- 
sands, sucli  a  feature  would  not  have  been  of  so  much  importance.  In  those  long- 
drawn  times  a  sprightly  girl  of  sixty,  or  a  robust  youth  of  ninety,  or  even  a  middle- 
aged  man  or  woman  two  or  three  liundred  years  old,  could  take  things  moderately  ; 
but  it  is  ordered  otherwise  in  this  day,  and  especially  in  this  metropolis.  Here,  life  is 
cut  short  at  both  ends,  and  crammed  to  choking  in  the  middle  ;  the  day's  hurly  burly's 
never  done,  and  there's  only  time  to  read  The  Sun. 


THE  EVENING  JOURNAL,  OF  JERSEY  CITY,  N.  J. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THE   CENTENNIAL   NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Evening  Journal  of  Jersey- 
City  was  established  in  May,  1867, 
its  publication  and  editorial  office 
being  combined  in  one  small  room, 
and  its  total  available  capital  at 
end  of  first  week  was  $119.00.  Its 
success  has  been  remarkable,  even 
in  this  land  of  rapid  growths.  It  is 
strictly  a  "local  paper,''  which, 
while  giving  all  the  telegraphic 
news  of  the  day,  yet  concentrates 
Its  attention  chiefly  on  the  local 
news  of  the  thriving  community  in 
which  it  is  pubUshed,  and  it  is 
therefore  a  favorite  visitor  at  every 
tea-table  and  tiie  leading  adver- 
tising medium  in  Jersey  City.  The 
population  of  Jersey  City,  which  in 
1850  was  about  16,000  is  now  120,000- 
and  rapidly  increasing.  The  suc- 
cess of  the  Journal  is  attested  by 
the  four-story  handsome  granite 
and  brick  building,  size  25x90  feet, 
37  Montgomery  street,  Jersey  City, 
erected  for  it  in  1874.  It  is  printed 
from  the  most  remarkable  Web 
l)rintiiig  machine  yet  invented. 
Its  proprietors,  Messrs.  Pangborn, 
Dunning  &  Dear,  wlio  are  experi- 
enced newspaper  men,  and  thor- 
oughly appreciate  the^wants  and  requirements  of  the  community  amongst  whom  they 
labor,  have  brouglit  the  Journal  to  a  liigh  pitch  of  excellence,  and  have  received,  as 
a  reward  of  conscienrious  Avork.  cordial  support  and  apj)robation. 


THE  NEW  YORKER  STAATS  ZEITUNG. 


A  SKETCH   FOU  THE   BOOK   OF  THE   CENTENNIAL    NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  progress,  cievelopment,  ami  present  position  of  this  paper  form  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  existing  proofs  of  the  success  with  which  industry,  energy,  perse- 
verance, and  faithful  and  righteous  management,  wiien  applied  to  the  Press,  are 
crowned  in  the  United  States.  The  'Sew  York  Staats  Zeitung  was  first  published  in 
1834,  as  a  weekly  paper.  As  such  it  was  well  received  and  supported,  but  the  patronage 
accorded  had  so  far  augmented,  and  the  demands  of  tlie  Teutonic  population  so  in- 
creased in  1842,  that  in  that  year  it  was  issued  as  a  tri-weekly  publication.  The 
mutation  proved  the  calculations  of  the  projector  to  be  soundly  based.  The  sale  of  the 
journal  grew,  and  its  reputation  advanced  correspondingly,  and  three  years  later,  when 
it  was  converted  into  a  daily  paper,  it  entered  on  its  more  useful  career  with  a  propi- 
tious future  before  it.  At  this  time,  notwithstanding  its  reputation,  the  circulation  of 
the  paper  Avas,  however,  comparatively  insignificant,  amounting  to  about  only  3,000 
copies,  and  it  was  not  till  1849  that  the  grand  development  leading  to  its  present  com- 
manding position  can  be  said  to  have  taken  place.  Even  then,  for  some  years,  its  pro- 
gress was  not  over-rapid,  and  Mr.  Oswald  Ottendorfer,  the  present  proprietor  and  chief 
editor,  avers  that  if,  in  1852,  when  he  became  first  connected  with  the  Staats  Zeitung, 
any  one  should  have  suggested  the  possibility  of  the  paper  reaching  its  present  large 
circulation,  he  would  have  considered  the  idea  visionary  and  absurd.  But  what  was 
deemed  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  an  impossibility  is  to-day  an  accomplished  fact. 

In  order  to  present  a  trustworthy  opinion  of  its  circulation,  we  have  carefully  pre- 
pared from  the  office  books  the  following  statement  of  the  average  daily  circulation  of 
the  N.  Y.  Staats  Zeitung  for  every  week  during  the  first  quarter  of  the  current  year:

In  addition  to  this  daily  circulation,  a  weekly  and  a  Sunday  edition  are  printed,, 
the  circulation  of  the  former  being  principally  outside  the  city,  in  the  Middle,  AVestern, 
and  Southern  States.  The  Sunday  edition  is  a  prominent  literary  paper  of  acknowl- 
edged merits,  and  is  very  widely  read. 

The  above  statistics  show  that  the  New  York  Staats  Zeitung  has  the  largest  cir- 
culation of  any  daily  paper  printed  in  the  German  language.  None  in  the  United  States 
will  compare  with  it  at  all,  and  we  are  reliably  informed  that  the  principal  journals 
issued  in  Germany— in  Vienna,  Berlin,  Cologne  or  Frankfort — are  not  its  peers,  It  is 
not  necessary,  however,  to  confine  the  comparison  among  German  joui-nals.  The  NeAv 
York  Staats  Zeitung  will  well  bear  to  be  contrasted  with  its  English  contemporarie* 
of  the  city.  There  is  that  in  its  circulation  which  is  remarkaljle,  and  indicates  a  supe- 
rior class  of  readers.  It  is  this  :  nearly  all  the  copies  of  every  issue  are  taken  by 
regularly  appointed  carriers  to  the  houses  of  subscribers.  Compared  with  its  English 
contemporaries,  it  is  vended  but  little  on  the  streets.  Evidently,  then,  its  subscription 
list  is  very  heavy,  it  being  very  doubtful  if  even  tlie  Herald  ov  Sunc?in  claim  a  heavier. 

When  it  first  appeared,  the  Zeitung  was  published  in  Nassau  street ;  next  it  was 
removed  to  Frankfort,  and  afterwards  to  William  street.  In  1857  it  was  located  in  an 
establishment  specially  erected  for  its  accommodation,  at  17  Chatham  street,  opposite 
the  City  Hall,  whence  it  continued  to  issue  for  many  years.  But  the  constant  increase 
of  business,  togetlier  with  the  prospect  that  tlie  East  River  Bridge  will,  when  complete,.

have  its  landing  on  the  spot  wliere  that  office  is  situate,  constrained  Mr.  Ottendorfer 
to  seek  another  place  of  pubUcation.  The  choice  of  site  was  a  matter  of  no  little  im- 
portance. Printing  House  Square  is  the  most  desirable  location  for  tiie  business  place 
ol  a  newspaper  in  tlie  city.  Therefore,  to  retain  a  holding  there  must  be  accomplished 
if  possible.  But  no  suitable  building  presented  itself.  Now  it  was  that  Mr.  Ottendorfer 
determined  to  carry  out  his  long  cherished  desire  to  erect  an  edifice  for  his  paper 
which  should  be  an  ornament  to  the  city  and  a  monument  of  newspaper  enterprise. 
In  pursuance  of  his  resolve,  he  bought  several  houses  on  Tryon  How,  extending  from 
Chatham  to  Centre  streets,  facing  Broadway,  and  thereon  has  placed  a  structure  whose 
dignity  and  gracefulness  impress  all  beholders.  It  was  completed  in  1872,  and  first 
occupied  in  the  early  part  of  1873,  and  no  one  who  examines  it  can  fail  to  admit  that  its 
projector,  Mr.  Ottendorfer,  has  succeeded  remarkably  in  his  efforts  to  secure  a  building 
exteriorly  handsome  and  complete  in  its  internal  arrangements. 


NEW  YORKER  STAATS  ZEITUNG  BUILDING. 


Tlie  edifice  forms  the  north  side  of  Pnnting  House  Square,  on  which  nearly  all  the 
principal  daily  morning  papers  published  in  the  City— the  Sun,  the  Irihune,  the  Times, 
and  the  Herald — have  their  palaces.  It  closes  the  circle  formed  by  the  City  Hall,  and 
the  new  Post  Office,  and  gives  an  appropriate  finish  to  one  of  the  most  interesting  parts 
ol  the  City.  The  style  of  architecture  employed  is  the  modern  renaissance,  the  first  story 
being  built  of  the  dark  l)luish  Quincy  Granite  and  those  above  it  of  the  lighter  Con- 
cord Granite.  The  effect  of  this  combination  is  to  relieve  the  building  of  the  heavy 
appearance  usually  characterizing  granite  structures.  The  ornamentation,  which  is 
rich  without  being  redundant,  further  aids  the  accomplishment  of  this  end,  whilst  the 
portico,  extending  through  tAvo  floors,  and  surmounted  by  bronze  statues  of  Gutten- 
berg  and  Franklin  (the  one  the  inventor  and  the  other  the  American  representative 
oi  printing)  is  a  central  feature  wliich  is  never  beheld  without  admiration.  There  is 
a  pleasant  harmony  in  the  whole  arrangement,  and  the  remark  is  often  made  by 
gentlemen  of  cultivated  taste  and  great  experience  that  among  all  the  majestic  pub- 
lic buildings  erected  in  the  city  in  recent  years,  that  of  the  Staats  Zkitung  bears  the 
palm  for  combining  beauty  and  utility. 

A  model  exterior  was  not,  however,  Avliat  Mr.  Ottendorfer  alone  aimed  at.    His  in- 


2U6  THE  GKEAT  NEWSPAPERS 

tention  was  that  this  shoukl  be  an  accompaniment  only  to  a  complete,  thoroughly 
practical  newspaper  establishment.  He  therefore,  in  preparing  the  plans,  made  a 
careful  study  of  all  the  improvements  in  newspaper  economy,  and  introduced  all  such 
as  commended  themselves  to  his  approbation.  All  other  considerations  were  made 
subservient  to  this  end,  and  how  fully  this  was  accomplished  a  visit  to  the  Staats 
ZEiTUiNG  office  will  convince  every  observer. 

Entering  the  publication  office,  situate  on  the  ground  floor  at  the  south-east  corner, 
one  is  immediately  struck  with  the  loftiness  of  the  apartment,  next  with  the  elegance 
of  its  fittings,  and  then  with  the  evidence  of  business-like  arrangement  everywhere 
present.  For  height  and  good  ventilation  the  Staats  Zeitung  publication  office  has 
not  its  equal  in  the  city.  The  consequence  of  this  grand  provision  being  that  the  em- 
ployees are  healthy  and  vigorous,  and  that  the  evil  effects  of  a  vitiated  atmosphere  are 
never  experienced  even  when  the  congregation  of  people  at  the  office  is  greatest. 
The  woodwork  in  this  department  is  of  rich  polished  walnut,  exquisitely  carved,  and  set 
off  with  artistic  bronze  adornments,  affording  a  charming  contrast  to  a  splendid  speci- 
men of  German  marble  (expressly  imported  for  Mr.  Ottendorfer)  which  forms  the  slab 
at  the  aperture  through  which  advertisers  and  others  confer  with  the  clerks.  Writing 
desks  en  suite,  and  of  the  most  approved  pattern,  are  placed  on  the  elegant  tiled  floor 
for  the  accommodation  of  visitors  ;  all  minutiae  are  carefully  disposed  ;  and  pervading 
everything  is  a  conformity  with  the  architectural  design. 

Going  up  a  noble  stairway,  the  walls  at  the  side  of  which  are  tastefully  frescoed, 
the  editorial  rocras,  situated  on  the  fourth  story,  are  reached.  Whilst  ascending,  the 
sustained  elegance  of  the  building  cannot  fail  to  impress  any  visitor.  The  landing- 
place  at  each  story  is  tiled  just  as  the  publication  office  is  ;  the  same  sort  of  adorn- 
ments observable  in  the  hall  are  presented  at  the  top  of  the  edifice  ;  everything  be- 
speaks thoroughness. 

The  editors'  rooms  are  arranged  methodically  and  comfortably,  being  so  placed  as 
to  expose  the  busy  workers  to  the  least  danger  of  distraction.  What  hundreds  of  their 
literary  brethren  sigh  for  in  vain— fresh  air  and  plenty  of  it— they  enjoy  without  let 
or  hindrance.  The  several  offices  connect  with  each  other,  so  that  no  difficulty 
stands  in  the  way  of  ready  communication  between  the  editor-in-chief  and  his  subordi- 
nates ;  speaking  tubes  render  the  transmission  of  messages  to  printers  or  clerks  easy  ; 
and  copy-lifts  expedite  the  transmission  of  copy  or  correspondence  to  and  from  the 
sanctum. 

Above  the  editorial  department,  on  the  top  floor  of  the  building,  are  the  compos- 
ing room  and  stereotyping  foundry— the  most  excellent  in  the  city— devised  for  the 
comfort  of  work-people  and  the  facilitation  of  the  operations  conducted  in  them.  Every- 
thing is  clean,  orderly,  systematic,  and  the  looks  of  the  workmen  betoken  that  the 
sanitary  arrangements  have  not  been  carried  out  in  vain. 

The  Staats  Zeitung  forms  are  stereotyped  every  morning,  and  as  the  whole  opera- 
tion has  to  be  completed  in  about  18  minutes,  the'most  perfect  machinery  is  neces- 
sarily employed.  The  pages  of  type  having  been  trundled  into  the  foundry,  an  accurate 
mould  of  them  is  taken  on  wet  papier-mach6,  which,  when  dried  by  heat,  is  placed  in 
a  massive  iron  casting  box  of  curved  shape,  into  which  the  seething  metal  is  poured. 
A  good  cast  having  been  secured,  the  plate  is  transferred  to  the  planing  machine, 
where  all  irregularities  are  removed,  and  in  a  few  minutes  (the  finishers  having  re- 
moved any  crudities)  it  is  fit  to  be  a-ffixed  to  the  cylinder  of  either  of  the  two  splendid 
six-cylinder  Hoe  presses  on  which  the  issue  is  daily  worked  in  the  basement.  In  the 
foundry  a  small  engine  is  used  to  drive  the  machinery,  the  steam  being  supplied  from 
the  basement.  The  means  of  heating  the  building  are  also  furnished  from  this  sub- 
flcial  department,  and  are  very  complete. 

Descending  by  an  elegantly  fitted  elevator  to  the  press-room  we  enter  a  series  of 
underground  apartments.  The  elaborate  machinery  at  once  attracts  notice,  but  the 
next  subject  to  arrest  the  attention  is  the  excellence  of  the  light,  which,  though  con- 
veyed artificially,  is  so  good  as  to  render  the  use  of  gas  unnecessary  during  the  day, 
save  in  retired  places.  The  two  presses  employed  to  print  the  Staats  Zeitung  will 
turn  off  together  20,000  an  hour,  the  motive  power  being  given  by  a  36  horse-power 
engine  constructed  by  Wright  &  Co.  Two  of  these  splendid  machines  stand  side 
by  side,  though  but  one  is  used  at  a  time,  the  object  being  to  obviate  delay  in  printing 
the  paper  in  case  accident  should  befall  either.  Near  at  hand  are  the  folding 
machines,  all  of  the  most  approved  pattern  and  capable  of  folding  neatly  the  papers  as 


OF  THE  UNITED  STATES.  207 

fast,  as  they  are  printed.  The  mailing  apparatus  is  likewise  close  at  hand,  this  also- 
being  of  the  most  approved  construction.  The  immense  boilers  which  furnish  the 
steam  for  the  machinery  and  the  whole  building  are  located  in  vaults  under  the  side- 
walk on  the  Chatham  street  side  of  the  building.  On  a  level  with  these,  but  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  floor,  there  is  another  vault  for  the  storage  of  paper,  in  which 
several  thousand  reams  are  constantly  kept,  and  an  aperture  for  the  purpose  admits 
of  fresh  supplies  being  slid  down  a  shute.  In  close  contiguity  is  the  distributing  room, 
where  the  papers  are  handed  every  morning  to  the  numerous  carriers,  who  are  in- 
variably promptly  on  hand  when  an  issue  is  coming  from  press.  To  this  a  half  story  is 
devoted.  The  government  of  this  department  is  singularly  excellent.  Each  carrier  is 
a  man  of  proved  reliability.  Promptness  and  precision  are  points  which  the  indefatiga- 
ble carriers  vie  with  each  other  to  excel  in,  and  it  is  next  to  impossible  for  any 
subscriber  to  the  New  York  Staats  Zeitung  to  be  disappointed  of  his  paper  at  the 
breakfast  table.  Each  of  the  corps  has  a  district  assigned  him,  and  is  protected  from 
the  encroachments  of  rivals  by  provisions  designed  by  Mr.  Ottendorfer  to  benefit  both 
the  distributors  and  his  patrons.  There  is  not  one  of  the  other  daily  papers  that  has 
anything  approaching  to  the  completeness  of  this  system. 

Indeed,  everything  possible  appears  to  have  been  done  to  obviate  delay  in  the 
delivery  of  the  paper.  Even  the  building  itself  was  from  the  first  designed  to  subserve 
this  end,  and  for  that  reason  chiefly  it  was  that  each  and  every  room  in  the  whole  of 
the  colossal  edifice  was  made  independently  fire-proof.  It  seems  impossible  that  the 
building  could  be  destroyed  by  fire,  or  that  flames  could  even  extend  beyond  the 
apartment  in  which  they  might  have  their  origin.  The  success  of  the  New  York 
Staats  Zeitung,  in  a  business  point  of  view,  is  in  no  small  degree  due  to  the  active 
interest  which  Mrs.  Ottendorfer,  the  wife  of  the  editor  and  proprietor,  takes  in  it. 
This  lady  is  every  morning  in  the  publication  office,  and  superintends  and  directs  the 
business  affairs  with  an  ability  and  circumspection  only  to  be  acquired  by  long  ex- 
perience, and  that  faculty  of  comprehensive  tact  which  are  commonly  believed  to  be 
the  exclusive  characteristics  of  men  ;  her  example  demonstrates  that",  without  claim- 
ing a  larger  sphere  of  rights  for  the  so-called  weaker  sex,  ladies  can  become  eminently 
useful  in  the  daily  exertions  of  life,  if  they  understand  how  to  properly  exercise  their 
influence. 

The  New  York  Staats  Zeitung  as  it  at  present  stands  before  the  public  is  the  re- 
sult of  the  activity,  industry  and  intelligence  of  our  citizens  of  German  descent.  But  it 
has  in  no  small  degree  itself  contributed  to  bring  that  class  of  our  citizens  to  the  re- 
spected position  which  they  occupy.  Its  influence  in  the  formation  of  their  views, 
modeling  their  opinions,  and  its  usefulness  in  correctly  apprising  them  of  important  na- 
tional and  local  issues,  can  hardly  be  over-estimated.  If  the  secret  of  its  great  influence 
be  sought  it  will  alone  be  found  in  the  sincerity  and  disinterestedness  with  which  the 
Staats  Zeitung  urges  its  arguments.  These  are  the  only  qualities  which  could  possibly 
have  gained  it  the  consideration  it  enjoys  among  such  thoughtful  and  well-instruct- 
ed people  as  compose  the  Teutonic  element  of  our  population.  The  tendency  of  the 
paper  is  conservative.  Being  inspired  with  a  conviction  of  the  necessity  of  the  pre- 
servation of  the  Union,  it  supported  before  the  war  the  democratic  party,  believing  it 
to  be  the  one  giving  the  best  guarantee  for  the  undisturbed  preservation  of  the  Union, 
and  after  the  outbreak  of  the  Rebellion  its  editor  and  proprietor,  in  words  and  facts, 
enthusiastically  supported  the  Union  cause. 

Of  late  years,  however,  the  New  York  Staats  Zeitung  has  been  independent  in 
politics,  its  principal  efforts  being  directed  against  corruption  and  the  abuses  in  our  pub- 
lic life  and  to  endeavor  to  impress  upon  its  readers  the  necessity  of  making  honesty, 
faithfulness  and  capability  the  only  standard  by  which  candidates  for  all  offices  should 
be  judged,  regardless  of  party  dictates  or  promptings.  To  this  course  it  consistently 
adheres,  and  its  increasing  popularity  is  the  best  possible  voucher  that  this  stand  is 
one  which  commends  itself  to  public  approbation.

THE  NEV\^  YORK  TIMES, 


A  SKETCH   FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THE   CENTEKNIAL  NEWSPAPEK  EXHIBITION. 


Tlie  projectors  of  the  N.  Y.  Times  promised  in  tlieir  prospectus  to  make  "  at  once 
the  best  and  the  cheapest  daily  family  newspaper  in  the  United  States."  Twelve 
months  later,  they  were  able  to  declare  that  it  had  been  "  immeasurably  more  success- 
ful, in  all  respects,  than  any  new  paper  of  a  similar  character  ever  before  published  in 
the  United  States."  With  justifiable  exultation,  and  with  strict  adherence  to  truth, 
they  asserted  that  "in  circulation,  in  income,  in  influence,  in  everything  which  goes  to 
make  up  the  aggregate  of  a  successful  journal,  it  challenges  a  comparison  Avith  any 
other  paper  ever  published."  Such,  in  brief,  is  the  story  of  "  The  Year  One,"  as  toid 
by  Mr.  Raymond,  on  the  17th  September,  1852. 

The  Times,  then,  was  a  success  from  the  beginning.  And  it  was  a  success  because 
it  met  an  urgent  want  of  the  community,  because  to  enterprise  in  the  accjuisition  and 
publication  of  news  it  added  courage,  moderation,  dignity,  ability  and  genuine  consist- 
ency in  the  discussion  of  public  affairs.  The  field  was  already  largely  occupied  by 
journals  Avhich  looked  with  no  friendly  eye  upon  the  new  comer.    There  was  coarseness 


OP     THE     UNITED     STATES.  209 

in  the  controversies  of  those  days,  and  the  contrast  maintained  was  between  indiffer- 
ence to  principle  on  one  hand,  and  a  dangerous  tendency  to  extreme  principles  on  the 
other.  The  orthodox  Whig  newspaper  vied  with  the  organ  of  Democratic  opinion  in 
obedience  to  the  slave  power  ;  the  radical  Whig  became  the  champion  of  Socialism,  and 
the  cause  of  human  liberty  suffered  from  an  advocacy  Avhich  identified  it  with  opinions 
that  were  repugnant  to  the  American  people.  A  need  of  journalism  different  from 
either  was  felt,  and  the  Times  met  it  boldly  and  well.  "  We  shall  be  conservative  in 
all  cases  where  we  think  conservatism  essential  to  the  public  good,"  was  one  of  _its 
opening  assurances  ;  ''and  we  sliall  be  radical  in  everything  which  may  seem  to  us  to 
require  radical  treatment  and  radical  reform."  This  discriminating  judgment  was  one 
of  the  secrets  of  the  remarkable  influence  and  prosperity  which  attended  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  Times.  Its  excellence  as  a  newspaper  was  a  potent  factor  in  the  sum 
of  its  success.  The  care  with  which  it  was  adapted  to  the  tastes  and  wants  of  the 
family,  the  high  standard  of  purity  which  it  maintained,  and  tlie  literary  culture  which 
shone  in  its  columns,  were  marked  and  important  sources  of  power.  But  its  weight 
in  political  discussion — the  authority  it  exercised  alike  in  the  afl'airs  of  the  State  and  of 
the  nation — was  to  a  large  extent  traceable  to  the  skill  and  effect  with  whicli  it  imposed 
restraint  upon  the  conflicting  ultraisms  of  the  time.  It  infused  the  vitality  of  progress 
and  the  courage  of  conviction  into  the  dominating  conservatism  ;  it  held  in  check  an 
aggressive  radicalism,  and  subjected  it  to  the  discipline  of  the  Constitution  and  the 
law.  Never  leaving  its  readers  in  doubt  as  to  its  position  on  any  important  question — 
never  evading  a  question  because  it  was  beset  with  prejudice  or  linked  with  powerful 
vested  interests,  it  adhered  steadfastly  to  the  course  in  the  first  instance  marked  out. 
It  was  vigorous,  without  being  offensive  ;  courteous,  without  being  cowardly  ;  and  it 
appealed  always  to  the  intelligence  and  moral  principle  of  its  readers. 

Identified  with  the  Free  Soil  Whigs  as  long  as  the  Whig  party  lasted,  the  Times 
largely  contributed  to  the  influences  and  purposes  which  culminated  in  the  organization 
of  the  Republican  party.  The  Pittsburg  Convention  and  the  nomination  of  Fremont 
were  events  with  which  the  historian  will  associate  the  services  of  the  Times. 
The  previous  four  years  witnessed  a  struggle  bitter  and  unrelenting,  in  which 
the  Times  took  a  conspicuous  and  honorable  part.  As  a  newspaper,  it  had  kept 
pace  with  the  march  of  the  age.  Its  size  had  expanded,  and  with  the  enlargement  of 
its  resources  had  come  increased  efficiency  in  all  the  general  departments  of  a  metro- 
politan journal.  The  principies  which  had  governed  it  remained  unchanged  ;  the 
policy  it  did  much  towards  moulding  and  crystallizing  found  final  expression  in  the 
■election  of  Lincoln.  The  position  he  assumed  corresponded  very  closely  with  tliat 
which  the  Times  had  uniformly  held.  And  when  the  madness  of  Southern  faction 
forced  upon  the  nation  a  struggle  for  its  life,  the  Times  accorded  his  administration  an 
ungrudging,  unqualified  support.  It  had  no  doubts  as  to  its  duty,  and  never  paused 
to  count  the  cost  of  the  difllculties  it  encountered.  No  better  record  of  the  war  exists 
than  that  which  might  be  compiled  from  its  columns. 

The  views  attributed  to  American  statesmen  by  Victor  Hugo  and  Louis  Blanc  in 
their  appeal  for  the  Philadelphia  Exhibition  reflect  the  policy  upheld  by  the  Times 
throughout  the  era  of  reconstruction.  It  exerted  itself  to  "  prevent  hatred  succeeding 
■defeat."  It  contended  that  to  permanently  re-establish  peace,  and  to  win  from  peace 
the  fruits  it  should  yield,  friendly  feeling  must  be  restored  between  the  victors  and  the 
vanquished.  The  pursuit  of  these  ideas  for  a  brief  period  estranged  from  the  Times  the 
more  extreme  leaders  of  the  Republican  party.  Experience  has  vindicated  the  motives 
'Of  the  Times,  and  moderated  the  rancor  of  those  who  at  the  moment  quarreled  with  it. 
Its  desire  to  promote  sectional  reconciliation  continued  unabated  ;  its  good  will 
towards  the  South  remained  unaffected  by  the  fate  that  attended  the  overtures  which 
it  encouraged.  But  it  has  insisted  that  magnanimity  shall  be  tempered  with  justice— 
that  while  removing  disabilities  and  fostering  paternal  feeling,  the  essential  results  of 
the  Avar  shall  be  preserved  unimpaired.  At  every  stage  of  the  controversy  the  Times 
has  made  partisanship  subordinate  to  patriotism,  and  has  interpreted  in  their  broadest 
aspects  the  principles  which  underlie  the  Republican  organization,  and  are  the  key  to 
all  that  is  greatest  and  best  in  its  career. 

The  demand  for  party  purification  and  administrative  reform  harmonizes  with  the 
declarations  embodied  in  the  first  number  of  the  Times:  "  What  is  good  we  desire  to 
preserve  and  improve  ;  what  is  evil,  to  exterminate  or  reform."  The  paper  stands 
■where  it  has  always  stood  when  our  institutions  were  menaced  by  corruption  and 


210  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 

intrigue.  It  never  talked  about  terms  with  rascals  or  "  Rings."  It  never  concealed  or 
apologized  for  wrong-doing  in  high  places.  It  never  hesitated  to  condemn  what  is  evil 
because  the  perpetrators  were  members  of  the  Republican  party.  It  never  recognized 
partisan  obligations  when  the  integrity  of  the  government,  local  or  national,  was 
endangered.  It  never  allowed  party  affiliations  to  fetter  its  judgment  or  to  obstruct 
the  discharge  of  its  duty  to  the  country.  These  are  characteristics  of  which  the  Times 
may  fairly  boast,  and  they  indicate  more  emphatically  than  mere  promises  the  direction 
of  its  course  in  the  present  condition  of  atl'airs. 

The  Times  was  never  blind  to  that  rapidly  growing  demoralization  of  our  municipal 
politics  which  culminated  in  the  accession  to  power  of  the  Tweed  Ring.  It  followed 
with  unsparing  denunciation  the  outrages  upon  public  honor  which  marked  the  admin- 
istration of  Mayor  Wood,  and  it  attacked  persistently  and  vigorously  the  earlier 
evidence  of  a  league  between  Judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  and  the  spoilers  of  the  city. 
In  the  great  Erie  warfare  of  1868  the  Times  bore  a  prominent  part.  The  shameful 
series  of  injunctions  and  receiverships  by  which  corrupt  judges  enabled  Fisk,  Gould 
and  Lane  to  take  foi'cible  possession  of  other  people's  property  were  followed  by  the 
outspoken  condemnation  of  the  Times.  Its  course  at  this  juncture  secured  for  it  the 
bitter  hostility  of  the  confederate  Tammany  and  Erie  Rings.  The  indictment  of  its 
conductors  was  openly  recommended  to  the  Grand  Jury  by  one  of  the  Ring  Judges,  and 
it  risked  both  property  and  personal  safety  in  its  warfare  on  the  side  of  honesty  and 
judicial  purity.  The  stupendous  naturalization  frauds  which  paved  the  way  for  a  period 
of  corruption  and  wholesale  plunder  in  the  State  and  city  were  exposed  and  denounced 
in  the  Times.  The  political  despotism  which  obtained  possession  of  all  the  avenues  of 
justice,  of  legislation  and  of  administration,  and  to  which  even  the  best  class  of  New 
York  citizens  had  begun  to  submit  with  a  feeling  of  hopeless  despair,  found  its  only 
formidable  adversary  in  the  Times.  During  1870  and  ISTl,  the  Times  waged,  almost 
single-handed,  a  struggle  which  is  probably  without  any  example  in  journalism.  The 
odds  against  it  seemed  overwhelming,  and  the  vast  majority  of  onlookers  undoubtedly 
believed  that  the  paper  would  come  out  of  the  unequal  contest  with  its  property  sacri- 
ficed and  Its  business  ruined.  The  brilliant  success  which  attended  that  onslaught 
upon  the  most  colossal  system  of  swindling  known  to  modern  times,  tended  to  breed 
forgetfulness  of  the  discouraging  prospects  which  attended  the  early  stages  of  the 
struggle,  and  the  very  substantial  risks  which  had  to  be  faced  during  the  period  when 
success  appeared  doubtful.  The  Times  was  never  more  true  to  the  principles  on  which 
it  was  founded  than  when  it  deliberately  staked  its  very  existence  upon  the  certainty 
that  even  in  the  dark  days  of  Ring  domination,  against  all  obstacles,  the  cause  of  right 
and  justice  must  ultimately  triumph. 

In  the  great  movement  for  a  higher  standard  of  official  fidelity  and  political  purity 
which  gained  so  decided  an  impetus  from  the  overthrow  of  the  Tammany  Ring,  the 
Times  has  taken  a  leading  and  efl"ective  part.  It  occupies  to-day  the  position  of  per- 
haps the  most  powerful  Republican  journal  in  the  country,  devoted  to  all  that  is  noblest 
and  most  progressive  in  the  policy  of  its  party,  while  ready  to  meet  with  the  severest 
condemnation  all  abuse  of  the  party  name  for  base  ends  or  ignoble  personal  ambition. 
In  American  journalism  there  is  no  more  consistent  and  honorable  record  than  that  of 
the  New  York  Times. 

THE  TIMES  BUILDING. 

The  first  number  of  the  Times  was  issued  from  No.  113  Nassau  street.  Although, 
compared  with  subsequent  accommodations,  these  premises  were  humble,  they  were 
in  favorable  contrast  with  other  newspaper  offices  of  that  day,  and  were  in  themselves 
sufficient  to  prove  that  pluck,  enterprise  and  capital  were  at  the  back  of  the  new  ven- 
ture. On  the  1st  of  May,  1854,  it  removed  to  ample  quarters  at  the  corner  of  Nassau 
and  Beekman  streets.  But  its  sojourn  here  was  to  be  of  brief  duration,  for  the 
business  sagacity  of  the  owners  speedily  saw  and  took  advantage  of  an  opportunity  to 
place  the  paper  in  one  of  the  best  locations  held  by  any  newspaper  in  the  United 
States.  Early  in  the  year  1857,  the  property  of  the  "  Old  Brick  Church,"  consisting  of 
the  triangular  plot  of  ground  bounded  by  Spruce,  Nassau  and  Beekman  streets  and 
Park  Row,  was  put  upon  the  market,  and  the  Times  was  fortunate  enough  to  secure 
the  northern  half  of  it.  The  plot  it  obtained  was  somewhat  irregular  in  shape,  being 
65  feet  front  on  Avhat  has  now  come  to  be  known  as  Printing  House  Square  by  105 
feet  on  Nassau  street  and  100  feet  on  Park  Row.  For  this  site  $185,000  was  paid,  and 
on  it  ground  was  broken  on  the  1st  of  May,  1857,  for  the  building  which  is  still,  and 


OF    THE    UNITED     STATES.  211 

will  be  for  indefinite  years  to  come,  occupied  by  the  paper.  This  building,  at  the 
time  it  was  constructed,  was  far  superior  to  any  then  in  existence,  and  with  all  the 
suggestions  and  improvements  of  the  last  twenty  years  which  have  been  embodied 
in  recent  architecture,  is  not  now  surpassed  by  any  in  the  world.  It  is  constructed  of 
Nova  Scotia  stone,  is  five  stories  high  and  has  three  fronts,  as  it  extends  over  the  area 
which  has  just  been  named.  It  is  thoroughly  fire-proof  throughout,  which  was  a  feat 
never  achieved  or  hardly  attempted  at  the  time  it  was  constructed.  It  occupies  an 
area  of  13,750  square  feet  and  contains  38  large  rooms,  many  of  which  are  sub-divided 
by  partitions  for  business  purposes  and  for  the  uses  of  the  newspaper.  This  latter 
occupies  in  the  pubUshing,  editorial  and  composing  departments  altogether  23  rooms, 
some  of  which,  however,  are  sub-divisions,  and  in  addition  thei'e  is  the  press  room  un- 
derneath the  building,  which  l)y  excavation  under  the  sidewalks  has  been  given  an  area 
of  206  feet  by  104.  The  entire  building  is  fully  supplied  with  gas,  water'  speaking  tubes 
and  all  other  appliances  for  the  convenience  of  tenants,  or  for  that  of  the  business  for 
which  it  was  specially  intended.  As  a  great  newspaper  can  only  be  done  justice  by 
giving  particulars,  it  is  now  intended  to  go  through  this  building  in  detail,  and  give  a 
view  not  only  of  each  department,  but  of  the  manner  in  which  it  is  conducted. 

THE   PUBLICATION   DEPARTMENT. 

The  rooms  of  this  department  occupy  65  feet  front  on  Printing  House  Square  by 
about  the  same  space  iu  depth  on  both  Nassau  street  and  Park  Row,  thus  giving  them, 
in  common  with  all  the  remainder  of  the  building  used  for  the  newspaper,  three 
fronts.  First  of  all  is  the  counting  room,  with  entrances  from  three  streets.  Oblong  in 
shape,  it  gives  ample  space  for  the  vast  business  which  must  every  day  be  transacted. 
The  counter  of  black  walnut  exteuds  across  the  entire  length  of  the  room,  and  is 
surmounted  at  short  intervals  with  high  plate  glass  screens,  to  insure  the  privacy  of 
the  clerks.  It  is  here  that  the  general  business  with  advertisers  and  subscribers  is 
transacted,  and  there  is  no  hour  in  the  twenty-four  when  it  does  not  present  a  busy 
scene,  but  hardly  at  any  time  does  it  present  an  appearance  so  animated  as  during 
those  hours  when  the  army  of  newspaper  readers  are  in  bed  and  asleep. 

In  the  rear  of  the  counting  room  is  another  apartment  of  equal  size,  and  connected 
with  it  by  three  arched  passages,  which  is  divided  by  partitions  into  five  compart- 
ments. First  on  the  Park  Row  side  is  the  office  of  the  cashier,  and  next  to  him  is  the 
private  room  of  the  publisher  and  chief  proprietor,  Mr.  George  Jones,  and  next  beyond 
is  the  office  of  Mr.  Gilbert  Jones.  The  other  small  rooms  are  used  for  miscellaneous 
purposes  ;  one  of  them  being  devoted  to  the  mailing  bureau,  which  is  in  itself  no 
small  portion  of  this  department,  for  it  is  here  that  the  huge  mails  of  the  paper  are  so 
arranged  and  systematized  that  the  largest  possible  amount  of  work  is  done  down- 
stairs in  the  shortest  possible  space  of  time.  The  labors  of  this  bureau,  and  indeed 
of  the  whole  foi-ce  of  the  paper,  have  been  greatly  increased  since  the  introduction  of 
the  fast  mail.  This  mail  leaving  the  post  office  in  New  York  at  4  A.  M.,  it  is  easy  to  see 
that  a  morning  newspaper  having  any  pretensions  to  enterprise  has  hard  work  to 
make  time,  but  the  Times  has  done  it  with  more  success  than  any  of  its  contemporaries. 

THE  EDITORIAL  DEPARTMENT. 

Leaving  the  Publishing  Department  and  going  up  three  flights  of  stairs  we  reach 
the  editorial  rooms  of  the  paper.  Here  are  thirteen  rooms,  all  but  two  of  whicli  are 
devoted  to  the  use  of  the  editorial  staff  proper,  and  those  two  to  the  city  department. 
One  of  these  two  latter  is  used  exclusively  by  the  City  Editor  and  his  assistants,  and 
the  other  and  larger  rooms  by  the  reporters,  who  number  altogether  about  thirty. 
It  is  their  business  to  scour  the  city  far  and  near  for  whatever  items  of  interest 
may  appear  from  day  to  day,  and  the  fullness  and  excellence  of  the  Times'  local 
news  for  many  years  past  bear  witness  to  the  intelligence  and  faithfulness  with  which 
these  gentlemen  have  discharged  and  still  are  discharging  their  duties.  On  the  same 
floor  are  the  rooms  of  the  editorial  writers  :  the  Exchange  Editor,  the  Telegraphic 
News  Editors,  the  Night  Editor,  the  Dramatic  Editor,  the  Commercial  and  Financial 
Editor,  the  Literary  Editor,  the  Index  Editor.  The  habits  of  business  in  this  depart- 
ment are  methodical,  but  varied  according  to  the  necessities  of  the  numerous  depart- 
ments of  the  work  of  a  great  daily  newspaper. 

It  is  the  business  of  a  newspaper  like  the  Times  to  fnrnish  its  readers  every  morning 
■with  every  item  of  interest  which  has  transpired  anywhere  in  the  world  during  the 


212  THE  GEEAT  NEWSPAPERS 

previous  clay  and  night.  To  accomplish  this  end  it  not  only  needs  and  has  a  complete 
corps  of  capable  editors  and  intelligent  reporters,  but  a  large  i-etinue  of  foreign  corre- 
spondents who  have  the  tact  and  experience  necessary  to  observe  and  correctly  report 
all  events  of  public  interest  in  the  localities  in  which  they  are  stationed.  Sometimes 
the  news  comes  by  mail,  but  if  need  be  the  telegraph  is  freely  used.  In  addition  to  all 
these  the  Times'  corps  of  domestic  correspondents  is  among  the  largest  and  most 
efficient  in  the  countrj'.  It  has  regular  correspondents  in  Boston,  Philadelphia,  Chicago, 
Baltimore,  ^Yashington,  Albany,  Richmond,  Wilmington,  Hartford,  Ptaleigh,  Atlanta, 
New  Orleans,  Jackson,  Memphis,  Nashville,  Knoxville,  Louisville,  Trenton,  Harrisburg, 
Pittsburg,  Columbus,  Cincinnati,  Detroit,  Cleveland,  St.  Louis,  Omaha,  Denver,  Salt 
Lake  City  and  San  Francisco,  and  many  cities  of  lesser  note.  But  this  is  not  all,  for  no 
sooner  does  anything  of  any  great  public  interest  happen,  than  the  Times  immediately 
dispatches  a  special  correspondent  from  the  office  in  New  York;  to  the  scene.  Added 
to  all  these,  the  Times  has  an  experienced  corps  of  political  correspondents,  who, 
during  times  of  political  excitement,  traverse  the  Union  and  furnish  information  in 
regard  to  passing  events. 

THE  COMPOSING  ROOM. 
All  the  matter  prepared  by  the  staff  of  editors,  correspondents  and  reporters,  after 
undergoing  requisite  revision,  is  sent  to  the  composing  room,  on  the  floor  above,  where 
it  is  put  in  type.  Here  it  is  only  necessary  to  briefly  mention  facts  in  order  to  show 
the  great  resources  and  business  of  the  establishment.  There  are  92  employes,  which 
includes  the  night  foreman,  7  assistants,  a  day  assistant  foreman,  83  compositors,  and 
in  addition  there  is  the  general  foreman,  making  93.  To  all  these  must  be  added  8 
proof-readers,  making  a  total  of  101  employes  on  this  floor.  There  are  68  cases  at 
which  printers  work  setting  type,  and  that  they  are  all  necessary  is  shown  by  the  fact 
that  nearly  400,000  ems  are  set  every  day,  and  sometimes — when  supplements  are 
issued— a  great  deal  more.  The  only  deduction  to  be  made  from  this  large  aggregate 
is  that  of  the  advertisements  which  stand  over  from  day  to  day,  and  the  number  is 
comparatively  small.  The  most  of  this  work  is  done  after  6  P.  M.  So  admirably  is 
the  composing  room  organized  that  there  is  rarely  any  delay,  never  any  disturbance, 
in  the  performance  of  the  work.  The  books  show  that  the  average  time  at  w^hich  the 
last  "  form  "  goes  to  the  stereotype  room  is  2.37  A.  M.,  and  from  this  statement  any 
one  can  see  that  there  can  be  no  idleness  during  these  eight  hours  in  the  large,  airy 
and  well  lighted  apartment  which  constitutes  the  Times  composing  room. 

THE  STEREOTYPING  ROOM. 
After  matter  has  been  "set  up,"  or  put  in  type,  the  next  process  is  to  take 
impressions  of  these  types  on  paper,  and  as  a  final  result  produce  from  stereotype 
plates  the  printed  sheet  with  which  the  public  is  familiar.  The  first  step  is  to  cast 
stereotype  plates  of  the  several  forms,  for  the  Times  does  not  and  has  not  for  many 
years  printed  from  the  types  themselves.  When  a  form  is  made  up  it  is  sent  down  in 
a  box  moved  by  steam  power  from  the  top  floor  to  the  basement,  some  25  feet  below 
the  surface  of  the  street,  to  the  stereotyping  room,  where  some  layers  of  damp  paper 
are  laid  upon  it,  and  it  is  then  driven  twice  through  a  machine  having  powerful  rollers, 
which  squeeze  the  paper  down  on  the  face  of  the  type.  Taken  out  of  that,  it  is  next 
placed— with  its  damp  paper  still  on  it— below  a  heavy  screw-press,  the  sole  or  lower 
plate  of  which  is  a  steam  heated  metal  chamber.  This  hot  chamber  dries  the  paper 
rapidly,  and  at  the  same  time  tlie  pressure  put  upon  it  prevents  any  cockling  or  ine- 
quality. In  a  short  space  of  time  the  frame  or  page  of  type  is  drawn  out  from  below 
this  press  and  the  dried  paper  peeled  off  its  surface,  when  it  forms  a  perfect  matrix, 
or  counterpart  of  the  type,  sufficiently  deep  to  enable  a  casting  to  be  taken  from  it 
which  shall  yield  a  page  of  clear-cut  lettering  ready  for  printing  from.  Before  the 
casting  is  taken,  however,  this  paper  matrix  is  made  absolutely  dry  by  being  placed  on 
another  hot  plate.  That  only  occupies  a  very  brief  space  of  time,  and  when  it  is  satis- 
factorily finished  the  paper  is  trimmed  carefully,  and  then  placed  face  upward  inside 
a  seniicii-cular  moll,  when  its  edges  are  fastened  down  by  bands  of  iron  of  the  thickness 
that  the  cast  is  meant  to  be.  On  these  bands  a  counterpart  of  the  mold  is  then  let  down 
from  a  small  crane,  and  fastened  so  that  a  semicircular  chamber  is  formed  the  size  of 
the  page  of  the  newspaper,  and  about  three-eighths  of  an  inch  deep  all  round.  Into 
this  a  pot  of  molten  stereotyping  metal  is  poured  by  two  men,  the  mold  having  first 
been  turned  on  end  so  as  to  compel  the  metal  to  fill  the  cavity  completely,  and,  after 


OF     THE     UNITED     STATES.  213 

resting  for  a  moment  or  two  till  the  metal  lias  set,  the  inner  part  of  the  mold  is  re- 
moved by  the  crane,  the  paper  matrix  is  peeled  off,  scarcely  browned,  and  capable  of 
being  used  again  and  again,  and  the  solid  cast  is  swung  round  and  deposited,  still 
adhering  to  the  mold,  in  another  cavity  exactly  the  shape  of  that  from  which  it  was 
taken.  Here  its  edges  are  trimmed,  and  the  lump  of  metal  which  formed  the  excess 
at  the  top  of  the  casting  sawed  off  by  a  small  revolving  saw  driven  by  steam.  That 
done,  the  cast  may  be  said  to  be  complete,  having  merely  to  be  dressed  a  little  along 
the  edges  of  the  outer  columns  of  letters,  and  along  the  top  and  between  the  headings 
of  articles,  and  to  be  pared  on  the  back  to  make  it  lie  perfectly  true  on  the  cylinder  in 
the  machine,  all  of  which  is  accomplished  in  a  very  few  moments.  The  page  of  letter- 
ing presents  the  appearance  of  a  strong,  solid  half-cylinder  of  white  metal,  ribbed  on 
the  inside  so  as  to  facilitate  the  paring  off  of  possible  inequalities,  and  covered  on 
its  outer  face  with  crisp,  clean,  shining  letters,  ready  at  once  for  the  press.  Only  four 
men  are  employed  in  this  room,  and  they  do  their  work  with  marvelous  rapidity.  Only 
seventeen  minutes  are  required  in  any  case  for  making  a  matrix,  and  it  has  been  done 
in  twelve  minutes. 

THE  PRESS  ROOM. 

But  the  chief  marvel  of  the  mechanical  department  of  the  New  York  Times  is  in  its 
press  room,  which  is  the  most  perfect  in  the  world,  containing  as  it  does  not  only  all 
the  latest  improvements  in  machinery  found  elsewhere,  but  many  which  are  peculiar 
to  itself.  Among  these  is  the  "  wetting  machine,"  for  wetting  the  white  paper.  The 
Times  is  printed  on  rolls  of  continuous  paper  without  joint  or  break,  each  of  which  is 
about  five  miles  in  length  and  36  inches  in  width,  and  weighs  about  900  pounds  net. 
Five  of  these  rolls  can  pass  through  the  machine  and  be  "wet  down  "  in  an  hour, 
being  unrolled  from  one  side  and  rolled  up  on  the  other  with  the  utmost  exactness. 
The  paper  being  ready  for  the  press,  the  presses  themselves  are  next  in  order.  The 
Times  is  printed  on  three  Walter  presses,  which  are  capable,  without  being  pushed,  of 
producing  1.3,500  impressions  each  per  hour,  or  40,500  per  hour  altogether.  The  stere- 
otype plates  having  been  placed  on  the  presses,  a  roll  of  paper  containing  6,000  copies 
of  the  Times  is  put  in  its  place  at  the  end  of  each  press  in  a  moment  by  one  man,  by 
means  of  a  movable  section  of  the  floor  raised  by  a  hydraulic  jack.  The  end  of  the 
roll  is  put  in  place  and  the  press  put  in  motion.  The  paper  goes  upward  to  where  the 
stereotype  plates  forming  the  four  pages  of  one  side  of  a  sheet  of  the  paper  are  fastened 
on  a  cylinder  just  large  enough  to  take  a  sheet  to  go  round  it.  Against  that  cylinder 
there  is  another,  identical  in  size,  possessing  a  soft  surface,  which  presses  lightly 
against  the  edge  of  the  type,  and  between  these  the  sheet  passes,  taking  up  an  impres- 
sion as  it  goes.  It  is  then  carried  downward  round  another  large  cylinder  covered 
with  cloth,  the  "  set  off"  on  which  is  taken  off  by  another  cylinder  in  contact  with  it, 
and  that  again  by  a  rubber,  in  a  fashion  that  is  both  simple  and  effective.  The  web  of 
paper,  still  running  on,  passes  between  the  second  type-covered  roller  and  its  counter- 
part, taking  the  impression  on  its  other  side  of  the  remaining  four  pages  ;  and  that 
done,  it  runs  out  between  two  more  rollers  of  the  same  circumference.  The  machinery 
is  so  adjusted  that  the  knife  catches  the  paper  exactly  between  each  sheet,  and,  the 
paper  being  held  hard  on  each  side,  cuts  it  in  two,  all  but  a  couple  of  tags  near  each 
end,  which  are  left  for  the  purpose  of  pulling  the  sheet  on  between  two  sets  of  running 
tapes,  until  it  is  caught  by  a  pair  of  small  rollers,  which  are  driven  at  a  greater  speed 
than  the  rest  of  the  machine.  These  immediately  tear  the  sheets  apart  where  they 
have  been  all  but  cut,  and  the  tapes  hurry  on  what  is  now  a  completely  printed  news- 
paper up  an  inclined  plane,  at  the  top  of  which  they  carry  it  down  an  oscillating  frame 
which  moves  peudulumwise  so  exactly  that  it  delivers  a  paper  precisely  at  each  end  of 
its  short  swing  on  to  the  face  of  another  set  of  running  tapes,  which  carry  it  downward 
on  their  outer  face  by  the  mere  force  of  contact  as  they  run.  Between  these  tapes  a 
frame  like  a  huge  comb  swings  backward  and  forward,  catching  up  one  delivered 
paper  at  every  motion  and  flinging  it  down  on  a  board.  The  current  of  air  raised  by 
the  motion  of  this  frame  suflices  to  hold  each  succeeding  sheet  against  tlie  tapes  along 
which  it  moves.  Thus,  two  boys  and  the  man  Avho  attends  the  machine  are  all  the 
manual  labor  required,  and  the  manner  of  delivering  the  papers  alternately  on  to  two 
Inclined  boards  ready  to  receive  them. 

Formerly  these  presses  required  several  boys  each  to  attend  them,  but  such 
improvements  have  been  made  in  them  by  Mr.  Gilbert  Jones  since  they  have  been  in 
the  use  of  the  Times  that  they  have  become  as  nearly  automatic  as  any  machines 


214 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 


possibly  can  be.  One  man  can  put  the  roll  in  place,  and  the  same  man  can  take  the 
printed  sheets  from  the  other  side.  Some  boys  and  men  are  needed  to  carry  away  the 
printed  sheets  to  the  mailing  and  delivery  rooms,  but  so  little  is  human  help  required 
by  these  presses  tliat  only  nineteen  persons  in  all  are  employed  in  the  press  room, 
while  iVirmerly  more  than  double  that  ninnber  were  necessary.    The  machinery  by 


which  all  this  is  done  is  put  In  motion  .y  two  engines  of  40  horse  power  each;  but  only 
one  of  them  is  generally  used  at  a  time,  as  it  is  the  system  of  the  Times  to  have  dupli- 
cates of  everything  in  the  mechanical  department,  so  that  if  anyone  piece  should 


OP  THE  UNITED  STATES.  215 

break  dovrn  the  other  is  on  the  spot  ready  for  immefliate  use.  It  has  auother  precau- 
tion against  any  interruption,  for  it  has  a  complete  machine  shop  in  its  press  room,  and 
skilled  mechanics  constantly  in  attendance  to  make  any  repairs  which  may  be  wanted. 
But  with  all  this  machinery  in  a  .space  106  feet  by  104  feet,  the  Times  press  room  does 
not  appear  crowded,  so  compact  and  well  placed  is  everything.  Great  as  are  the  powers 
of  the  AValter  presses,  they  only  occupy  a  few  feet  of  space  each,  and  the  wetting 
machine  could  be  placed  on  the  top  of  a  dining  table  of  ordinary  size.  Nor  is  there 
the  griminess  usually  found  in  such  places,  for  the  Times  has  made  use  of  every  possi- 
ble appliance  to  avoid  it.  The  feeding  of  presses  with  ink  under  the  old  method  caused 
a  vast  deal  both  of  foulness  and  waste,  but  under  the  Times'  system,  by  which  the  ink 
is  pumped  from  a  reservoir  into  each  press  as  it  is  needed,  not  a  drop  is  spilled.  All 
these  facts  are  mentioned  only  to  show  that  in  its  mechanical  department,  as  in  all 
others,  the  paper  is  second  to  none.  It  is  universally  admitted  to  be  the  most  hand- 
some in  appearance  of  any  paper  printed,  and  it  could  not  have  reached  nor  liave 
maintained  this  distinction  without  the  most  perfect  mechanism. 


In  addition  to  the  daily  issue  of  the  Times,  there  is  the  semi-weekly  edition,  issued 
on  Tuesdays  and  Fridays,  and  tlie  weekly  edition  on  Wednesday  of  each  week,  all  of 
which  hiive  large  circulations.  Complete  in  its  mechanical  appliances,  strong  in  its 
resources,  solid  in  its  basis,  independent  and  honest  in  its  editorial  management, 
sincere  and  decisive  in  its  political  convictions,  but  not  devoted  to  the  interests  of  any 
person  or  clique,  presenting  evei'y  morning  all  the  news  of  the  Avoiid  for  the  previous 
day  in  the  most  perfect  shape,  trie  Times  is  the  embodiment  of  the  highest  standards 
yet  attained  by  American  journalism.

"THE  EVENING  POST,"  NEW  YORK. 


ITS  SEVENTY-FIFTH  HIllTHDAY. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  New  York  Evening  Post  is  one  of  the  oldest  of  the  rjreat  Americau  newspapers, 
and  is  the  best  evening  Journal  published  in  New  York.  It  was  established  in  1801, 
and  for  more  than  fifty  years  has  been  under  the  wise  editorial  management  of  William 
Cullen  Bryant,  the  honored  poet  and  author.  Under  his  guidance  the  Evening  Post 
has  gained  a  reputation  and  an  amount  of  influence  equaled  by  very  few  American 
journals.  Believing  thoroughly  in  the  principles  of  Republican  government,  it  addresses 
and  represents  peculiarly  the  cultured  class  of  our  citizens,  and  its  tone  is  very  high. 
Even  its  advertising  columns  are  jealously  guarded  against  questionable  or  objection- 
able advertisements.  This  fastidiousness  has  made  it  a  great  family  newspaper,  and 
it  is  generally  acknowledged  to  be  the  door  by  which  access  is  to  be  gained  to  New 
York  homes. 

An  introduction  by  the  Evening  Post  ensures  an  hospitable  reception  to  any  topic, 
charity  or  business.  As  a  contemporary  published  in  a  neighboring  city  says  :  •'  The 
Evening  Post  is  most  decidedly  the  one  daily  paper  in 'New  York  that  can  fully  claim, 
like  the  Pall  Mall  Gazette,  to  be  conducted  by  gentlemen  and  for  gentlemen." 

Its  Semi-Weekly  and  Weekly  editions  bear  the  same  general  character,  both  in  the- 
quality  of  their  matter  and  their  audience,  although,  of  course,  special  attention  is 
given  to  the  Agricultural  and  other  departments  which  are  of  peculiar  interest  to  the 
country  readers. 

The  fact  that  there  are  a  larger  number  of  really  great  newspapers  published  in 
the  morning  than  in  the  evening  gives  tlie  Evening  Post  even  more  prominence  than 
it  could  otherwise  liave  attained. 

Having  gained  its  position,  however,  the  publishers  have  wisely  spared  no  expense 
to  keep  and  advance  it.  The  special  dispatches,  it  is  safe  to  assert,  are  more  complete 
and  are  made  a  much  greater  feature  in  this  than  in  any  other  afternoon  journal  pub- 
lished in  New  York,  and  as  the  most  important  events  happen,  as  a  rule,  in  the  day 
time,  and  as  the  ditference  in  time  gives  an  evening  journal  the  daily  news  of  Europe, 
a  reader  of  the  Evening  Post,  for  instance,  has  spread  before  him  in  a  concise  form 
the  daily  events  of  the  whole  world. 

He  reads  this  record  of  the  day  at  his  home  when  he  has  both  tiie  time  and  the 
inclination  for  its  careful  perusal  and  consideration.  Thus,  an  evening  journal  has  the 
best  possible  opportunity  for  real  influence. 

The  same  thing  is  true,  further,  in  respect  to  all  announcements  made  in  an  evening 
newspaper  ;  for.  being  read  at  home  and  left  at  home,  it  is  naturally  the  medium  con- 
sulted by  the  family  in  regard  to  most  of  the  domestic  needs  and  the  family  plans. 
The  Evening  Post  is  very  decided  in  its  opinions,  and  as  it  has  said  of  itself,  it  "  is  often 
called  upon  by  a  sense  of  duty  to  oppose  itself  to  the  general  feeling  of  those  from 
whom  a  commercial  paper  always  must  receive  its  support ;  it  never  hesitates  to  do 
so.  It  sometimes  finds  a  powerful  memlDcr  of  that  community  occupied  with  projects 
which  it  deems  mischievous  ;  it  puts  itself  in  his  way  and  frustrates  his  designs  if  pos- 
sible. In  this  way  it  makes  bitter  enemies,  who  would  break  it  down  if  they  could  ;  it 
makes  also  warm  friends  by  whom  it  is  cordially  supported.  Its  proprietors  are  sat- 
isfied with  its  success  and  its  expectations."  It  may  interest  foreigners  to  know 
that  the  Evening  Post  is  the  American  Champion  of  Free  Trade  and  the  rights  of  For- 
eign Authors. 

Its  stately  building  (a  picture  of  which  is  reproduced  on  the  opposite  page)  is  thor- 
oughly appointed  for  the  Newspaper  business,  and  is  on  the  corner  of  the  two  great  com- 
mercial thoroughfares  of  New  York,  Broadway  and  Fulton  street. 

On  Broadway  the  building  has  a  front  of  sixty-tAvo  feet  and  ten  inches,  and  extends 
one  hundred  and  three  feet,  six  inches  on  Fulton  street.    Its  height  above  the  side-

THE    NEW  YORK  EVENING  EXPRESS. 


A.  SKKTCH   FOR   THE  BOUK  OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  ^EWSPAFER   EXHIBITION. 


The  New  York  Express  was  established  as  a  daily 
morning  journal  in  1836,  when  the  city  commenced  at 
the  battery  and  ended  at  Niblo's  Garden,  on  the 
ci  rner  of  Prince  street  and  Broadway.  The  np-town 
omnibuses  then  went  no  further,  and  Union  Square 
was  in  the  fields,  and  the  head-quarters  of  the  Man- 
hattan "Works,  which  supplied  the  city  througli 
wooden  pipes  with  water,  was  in  Chambers  street. 
Of  the  morning  papers  then  in  existence  only  two 
survive,  and  of  the  evening  only  two,  except  the  Ex- 
press. All  other  daily  journals  have  since  disap- 
peared, to  the  number  of  over  one  hundred. 

The  Express  was  started  by  the  late  James  Brooks, 
with  Robert  E.  Hudson  as  Commercial  Editor,  and 
Erastus  Brooks  as  part  owner  and  its  Washington 
Editor,  a  post  which  he  occupied  during  the  sessions 
of  Congress  for  nearly  twenty  consecutive  years. 
Mr.  James  Brooks  had  occupied  the  same  field  years 
before,  as  editor  of  the  Portland  Advertiser,  writing 
letters  from  thence,  and  both  earlier  and  later  from 
the  South  and  Europe.  He  was  among  the  earliest 
of  the  Washington  correspondents,  though  not  before 
Messrs.  Coleman,  Kingman  and  Mathew  L.  Davis,  and 
perhaps  some  others.  Mr.  Brooks,  senior,  entered 
upon  his  editorial  career  in  this  city  in  June,  1836, 
Some  years  later  the  old  New  York  Advertiser  (Theo. 
Dwight  and  Wm.  B.  Townsend,  proprietors),  was 
merged  in  the  New  York  Express,  and  the  two 
papers  were  for  over  fifty  years  the  corporation 
journal  of  the  city,  with  pay  at  not  over  $250  a  year 
for  the  honor  of  doing  the  work. 

The  Express  was  the  first  daily  double  sheet  printed 
in  the  city,  and  as  an  experiment  it  failed  to  attract 
public  interest,  for  the  reason  that  the  advertise- 
ments could  not  be  found,  and  the  Morning  Express, 
then  nearly  as  large  as  the  London  Times,  was  pro- 
nounced too  cumbersome.  In  most  parts  of  the 
country  the  old  folio  form  of  the  present  Express  is 
still  the  favorite  with  the  public.  In  March,  1876,  the 
New  York  Express  was  formed  into  a  joint  stock 
company,  Erastus  Brooks  and  James  Wilton  Brooks, 
only  son  of  James  Brooks,  consenting  to  part  Avith 
one-fiftli  of  their  interest,  and  to  expend  the  new 
capital  in  the  improvement  of  their  paper.  Since 
then  its  editorial  and  reportorial  corps  have  been 
greatly  increased,  with  large  additions  to  its  ex- 
penses and  a  corresponding  increase  in  its  business 
income. 

Since  1836,  the  Express  has  occupied  the  old  Tontine  Buildings,  at  the  corner  of 
Wall  and  Water  streets,  the  offices  at  the  present,  112  and  114  Broadway,  the  corner  of 
WaU  and  Nassau  streets,  opposite  the  Custom  House,  the  narrow  front  and  wider  rear

on  Trj^on  Row,  where  the  Evening  Expkkss  was  started,  13  and  15  Park  Row,  where  it 
was  burned  out  in  December,  18T2,  and  for  tliree  years  in  its  present  premises,  No.  23 
Park  Row,  bought  and  built  by  J.  &  E.  Brooks,  and  entirely  adapted  to  its  present 
large  business,  with  its  press-room  far  down  in  terra  flrma,  and  its  editorial  and  com- 
posing rooms  among  the  best  ventilated  and  lightest  rooms  in  the  city.  The  premises 
extend  from  Park  Roav,  opposite  the  Post  Ortice,  to  Tlieatre  Alley,  with  ample  light  and 
room  to  assure  the  health  and  comfort  of  all  occupants  in  its  seven  stories. 

THE  SITE  OF  THE  EXPRESS  BUILDING. 

Perhaps  there  is  no  plot  of  ground  in  the  city  that  has  a  more  memorable  history 
than  that  on  which  the  Express  Building  stands.  Its  early  associations,  like  the  prin- 
ciples disseminated  from  the  structure,  embraced  the  whole  country.  One  hundred 
years  ago  it  intersected  the  old  "'Commons"  tliat  stretched  from  St.  Paul's  to  a 
cemetery  that  skirted  the  northAvest  line  of  Chambers  Street.  Beyond  this  point  were 
the  Collect  or  Great  Pond,  on  which  the  Tombs  was  built;  the  "Tea  Water  Pump,"  in 
Chatham  Street;  "Gallows  Hill,"  wliose  scarfold  drank  the  blood  of  a  member  ol 
"Washington's  Body  Guard,  who  had  sold  his  plans  to  the  enemy,  and  the  barracks  and 
jails  that  stretched  from  the  eastern  section  of  the  City  Hall  Park  to  Tryon  Row  and  Cen- 
tre Street.  Farm  houses,  miles  apart;  wheat  fields  and  orchards,  relieved  by  small 
villages,  such  as  Richmond  Hill,  in  the  neighborhood  of  Varick  and  Cliarlton  Streets, 
and  Greenwich  (now  Christopher  Street)  completed  the  scene.  The  "Commons,"  aa 
all  the  ancient  records  inform  us,  was  the  scene  of  many  an  encounter  between  the 
•'  Liberty  Boys  "  and  the  British  loyalists,  in  1775.  The  former  fought  for  the  principles 
of  constitutional  liberty,  and  for  a  government  of  and  by  the  people;  and  the  Express, 
on  the  self-same  ground,  is  fighting  the  self-same  battles  over  again,  though  happilj 
with  no  effusion  of  blood. 

Other  associations  connected  with  the  site  of  the  new  Express  Building  also  make 
it  an  object  of  public  interest.  Here  was  the  old  Park  Theatre,  with  the  row  of  ancient 
and  uneven  buildings  which  formed  the  block  forty  years  ago,  and  it  must  necessarily 
share  in  all  the  histrionic  glories  of  that  ancient  Thespian  temple.  Forrest,  Placide, 
Charles  Keau,  Ellen  Tree,  Barrett  (Gentleman  George),  Mme.  Yestris,  Charlotte  Cush- 
man,  Vache,  Fisher,  Macready,  Cooke,  Blake,  Peter  Richings,  and  a  host  of  other  star? 
performed  within  its  walls,  "drawing  crowded  houses  nightly."  Opera,  comedy, 
tragedy,  burlesque,  extravaganza,  farce— succeeded  each  other.  In  those  days,  as 
now,  play-going  gallants  espoused  the  cause  of  each  attractive  actress  whom  unsj-m- 
pathetic  critics  would  place  among  less  favored  sisters  in  a  stock  company.  On  one 
occasion  tliis  theatre  Avas  the  scene  of  a  terrible  row  between  the  defenders  and  assail- 
ants of  Mrs.  John  Wood,  who  was  then  playing  a  brief  engagement  within  its  walls. 
The  gallant  .lames  Watj3on  Webb  attacked  the  lady's  personations  of  several  characters 
in  his  paper,  the  old  Courier  ana  Enquirer,  and  when  she  appeared  on  the  stage  the 
same  evening,  she  was  received  by  a  storm  of  alternate  applause  and  hisses,  Avhicli 
was  succeeded  by  a  general  melee,  in  which  the  house  was  practically  converted  into 
a  prize-ring.    The  police  finally  separated  the  combatants. 

On  either  side  of  the  Park  Theatre  stood  two  memorable  saloons.  The  first  was 
kept  by  Jas.  Sweeny,  the  father  of  Peter  B.  Sweeny,  now  in  Paris,  and  James  M. 
Sweeny,  his  brother,  who  recently  died  there.  Both  Peter  B.  and  James  M.  were  born 
in  that  house.  The  second  saloon  was  owned  by  one  Conroy,  a  brother-in-law  of  a 
'•  host  "  well  known  and  respected  in  those  days,  named  Malachi  Fallon,  who  subse- 
quently founded  a  cosy  restaurant  and  social  meeting-house  in  Elm  street,  whicli  wa.s 
known  by  the  familiar  name  of  "The  Ivy  Green." 

We  might  multiply  these  by -gone  scenes  and  incidents  which  gis'e  the  site  of  the 
Express  and  those  immediately  connected  with  it  a  bright  and  varied  page  in  our  local 
history.  In  the  cause  of  American  liberty  the  place  where  the  United  States  played 
an  active  part  against  the  Georges  of  England,  and  for  George  Washington,  of  the 
American  Colonies,  the  same  good  work  is  ours  now,  and  with  as  brilliant  prospects 
of  success  before  the  country,  we  trust,  as  when  the  old  liberty  boys  met  to  defend 
the  right  at  the  mouth  of  the  cannon.  The  weapon  now  used  is  the  pen.  which  ought 
to  be  mightier  than  the  sword,  but  wliich  now  is  too  often,  we  fear,  used  to  pull  down 
rather  than  build  up  the  Republic. 


THE  BROOKLYN  "  EAGLE." 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER   EXHIBITION. 


THE   "EAGLE"  BUILDINGS. 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS.  221 

THE  ESTABLISHMENT  OF  THE  BROOKLYN  EAGLE. 
The  Brooklyn'  Eagle  Is  in  an  especial  sense  the  journalistic  representative 
of  the  city  in  which  it  is  published,  and  it  is  published  in  the  third  city  in  the 
Union,  in  point  of  population,  and  the  second  in  extent  of  area.  The  growth  of 
Brooklyn  has  been  marvelous  among  even  American  cities.  The  Brooklyn  Daily 
Eagle  was  founded  in  1842  by  Isaac  Van  Anden,  who  took  an  active  interest  in  its 
"business  management  up  to  the  period  of  his  death  in  1875.  Brooklyn,  at  the  time 
the  Eagle  was  started ,  had  been  incorporated  as  a  city  but  about  seven  years,  and 
it  then  contained  a  population  of  only  30,000.  Its  population  is  now  over  500,000. 
The  Eagle  has  steadily  grown  Avith  the  city,  until  it  is  now  the  most  widely  cir- 
culated evening  journal  published  in  this  country.  Its  early  contemporaries 
and  rivals  have  all  passed  away,  and,  while  there  are  three  other  daily  papers 
published  in  Brooklyn  at  the  present  time,  the  newspaper  business  of  the  city 
may  be  said  to  be  concentrated  in  the  office  of  the  Eagle.  Designed  mainly  to 
meet  the  wants  of  a  concentrated  population  of  half  a  million,  it  is  exceptional 
among  newspapers  in  the  compactness  and  universality  of  its  circulation 
within  the  sphere  of  its  direct  influence,  so  that  it  has  long  ago  come  to  be  ac- 
cepted as  a  truism  in  Brooklyn  that,  "  Everybody  who  can  I'ead  at  all,  reads  the 
Eagle."  As  a  medium  of  advertising,  in  order  to  reach  the  people  of  Brooklyn, 
it  has  no  rival.  The  extent  of  its  advertising  patronage  is  exceeded  by  only  one 
morning  newspaper  in  New  York,  and  by  no  evening  paper  in  the  world.  Its 
circulation  is  believed  to  be  larger  than  that  of  all  the  evening  journals,  of  its 
class,  published  in  New  York,  and  is  exceeded  but  by  two  or  three  of  the  Me- 
tropolitan morning  newspapers,  which,  while  they  may  have  sharper  competi- 
tion, have  a  more  extensive  constituency.  The  circulation  of  the  Eagle  has 
more  than  kept  pace  with  the  growth  of  Brooklyn.  It  is  also  sold  at  the  princi- 
pal centres  of  resort  in  New  York;  has  a  considerable  and  growing  mail  circu- 
lation, and  is  recognized  throughout  the  country  as  one  of  its  most  influential 
and  prosperous  journals.  In  proportion  to  its  circulation,  the  Eagle  is  believed 
to  be  the  cheapest  advertising  medium  in  either  city.  The  income  of  the  paper 
has  grown  to  be  very  large,  but  in  presenting  not  only  the  news  of  the  world, 
l3ut  the  most  minute  reflex  of  the  dailj'-  life  of  Brooklyn,  its  expenditure  has 
come  to  be  so  vast  that  rivalry  with  it  has  been  found  to  be  impossible. 

HOW  THE  EAGLE  BUILDINGS  ARE  OCCUPIED. 

The  Eagle  is  issued  from  the  extensive  printing  establishment  known  as 
2^08.  34,  36  and  38  Fulton  street.  These  buildings  extend  to  the  adjoining  street, 
and  have  been  fitted  up  with  the  especial  view  of  accommodating  its  business, 
and  that  of  the  very  extensive  Book  and  Job  Printing  office  embraced  in  the 
establishment.  These  buildings  are  four  stories  in  height,  and  are  occupied  as 
follows : 

On  the  basement  floor  are  the  newspaper  folding  rooms,  and  the  rooms  for 
the  clerks  engaged  in  selling  tickets,  which  are  in  turn  passed  to  the  folders, 
who  count  off"  the  Eagle  with  a  rapidity  perfectly  incomprehensible  to  those 
who  have  not  seen  the  quickness  ot  the  eye  tested  as  an  enumerator.  At  certain 
hours  of  the  day  the  front  room  is  given  over  to  bustle  and  excitement — and  to 
the  newsdealers  and  •'  newsboys  "  who  impatiently  await  their  turn  to  get  their 
papers— each  one  eager  to  be  first  on  the  street  with  a  newspaper  which  every- 
body in  Brooklyn  reads. 

On  the  first  floor  are  the  counting  rooms,  telegraph  office,  newspaper-file 
room,  and  private  rooms  of  the  business  heads  of  the  concern.  In  the  counting 
rooms  there  is  a  "  Gold  and  Stock  Indicator,"  which  records  during  business 
hours  of  the  day  all  the  operations  of  Wall  street,  ship  arrivals  and  departures, 
and  the  principal  news  items  of  the  day.  The  counting  room  is  one  of  the 
most  frequented  centres  of  Brooklyn,  and  is  usually  crowded  with  people  hav- 
ing business  with  the  office.  Nearly  level  with  the  first  floor  is  a  building  es- 
pecially constructed  for  the  accommodation  of  the  two  eight-cylinder  Hoe  Light- 
ning Presses,  which  can  be  seen  from  the  counting  rooms,  from  morning  until 
late  into  the  afternoon,  and  often  into  the  night,  throwing  off  the  various  edi- 
tions of  the  Eagle,  at  the  rate  of  thirty-six  thousand  per  hour.  The  Eagle  is 
now  stereotyped,  and  hence  its  "forms "can  be  printed  at  the  same  time  on

both  presses.  Thf'  Eagle  is  the  only  evening  newspaper  in  the  country  printed 
on  the  Hoe  Lightning  Presses,  which  is  under  the  necessity  of  duplicating  its 
forms  by  stereotyping.  The  rear  building,  fronting  on  Doughty  street,  is  occu- 
pied by  the  numerous  presses  required  by  the  Job  Office  Department. 

The  second  floor  is  devoted  exclusively  to  the  business  of  the  Book  and  Job 
offices.  Several  weekly  newspapers  are  printed  hex-e,  and  every  description 
of  work  is  turned  out  in  large  quantities. 

The  third  floor— Very  nearly  one-half  of  this  floor  is  devoted  to  the  use  of 
the  editorial  and  reportorial  staff  employed  upon  the  paper.  Seven  rooms,  mn- 
nin<?  along  the  Fulton  street  side  of  the  building,  are  occupied  by  the  editors, 
while  two  spacious  apartments  are  devoted  to  the  vise  of  the  very  large  staff  of 
reporters  employed  on  tlie  paper.  Adjoining  are  rooms  reserved  for  the  proof 
realers,  etc.  The  rear  half  of  this  floor  is  occupied  by  the  compositors,  who 
"  set  up  "  the  paper.  This  room  is  believed  to  be  one  of  the  best  arranged  and 
best  ventilated  composing  rooms  in  the  country.  It  is  lighted  from  the  roof 
and  from  the  windows  which  look  out  from  three  sides  of  it. 

On  the  fourth  floor  are  the  rooms  occupied  by  the  stereotypers.  It  also  con- 
tains the  bookbindery,  the  ruling,  the  folding,  and  the  drying  rooms,  and 
other  apartments  needed  in  the  conduct  of  the  job  office. 

POLITICAL  VIEWS. 
The  Brooklyn  Eagle  has  long  ago  repudiated  such  distinction  as  is  to  be 
secured  by  mere  party  organship.  In  its  reportorial  columns  equal  favor  is 
shown  to  all,  the  main  object  of  the  paper  being  to  daguerreotype  life  in  Brook- 
lyn, with  perfect  impartiality  and  accuracy.  The  Eagle  has  consistently  advo- 
cated and  upheld  those  principles  of  government  with  which  the  name  of 
Thomas  Jefferson  will  be  associated  as  long  as  our  Federal  system  of  Republi- 
can government  continues  to  exist.  Entirely  independent  of  party,  it  is 
enabled  to  maintain  a  tone  of  courtesy,  candor  and  independence  in  its  editor- 
ial columns,  which  commends  it  alike  to  the  honest  masses  of  both  parties. 

BUSINESS    MANAGEMENT. 

The  Brooklyn  Eagle  has  been  published  for  several  years  past  by  an  in- 
corporated association.  Its  stock,  however,  is  concentrated  in  very  few  hands. 
Outside  of  the  family  of  its  founder,  Mr.  Van  Anden,  there  are  but  three  stock- 
holders— one  of  them  the  gentleman  who  has  filled  for  many  years  the  position 
of  editor-in-chief  of  the  paper.  William  C.  Kingsley  and  Abner  C.  Keeney,  very 
well  known  citizens  of  Brooklyn,  are  the  only  other  stockholders.  The  busi- 
ness interest  of  the  Eagle  is  represented  by  Mr.  William  Hester,  nephew  of  its 
founder,  Mr.  Van  Anden. 

THE    EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. 

In  the  formation  of  political  and  public  sentiment,  the  Eagle  takes  a  lead- 
ing place  in  the  ranks  of  American  newspapers.  Its  editorial  conduct  is  under 
the  full  control  of  Mr.  Thomas  Kinsella,  who  has  grown  up  with  the  paper,  hav- 
ing sei"ved  ir  in  nearly  every  capacity— compositor,  contributor,  reporter,  as- 
sistant editor,  and  editor-in-chief.  Mr.  Kinsella  takes  an  active  part  in  the  pub- 
lic affairs  of  his  city  and  State.  He  has  held  various  offices  of  trust  under  the 
local  government  of  Brooklyn.  In  1864  he  was  a  member  of  the  Democi'atic 
National  convention;  in  1866  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  Union  Convention, held  in 
Philadelphia,  to  sustain  President  Johnson's  administx-ation ;  in  1872,  as  a  zeal- 
ous advocate  of  the  election  of  the  then  head  of  his  profession— Horace  Greeley 
— to  the  Presidency  of  the  United  States,  he  presided  over  the  Rochester  Demo- 
cratic State  convention,  and  was  one  of  the  delegates  to  the  National  Demo- 
cratic convention,  which  was  held  at  Baltimore,  and  thi-ough  whose  action 
Greeley  seeui'ed  the  support  of  the  Democratic  party.  Mr.  Kinsella  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  House  of  Representatives  during  the  Forty-second  Congi'ess. 

SECRETS    OF    SUCCESS. 
The  marvelous  success  of  the  Brooklyn  Eagle  is  due  In  part  to  the  fact 
that  it  has  identified  itself  in    all  things  with  Brooklyn  and  her  people,  but 
mainly  to  this :    It  is  run  as  a  newspaper,  and  finds  its  own  interest  in   uphold- 
ing that  of  the  great  public,  whose  favor  alone  insures  journalistic  success. 


THE  "  SCIENTIFIC  AMERICAN." 


THEN  AND  NOW 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIIUTION. 


It  was  in  the  year  1845  that  the  first  number  of  that  popular  illustrated  news- 
paper, The  Scientific  American,  was  Issued  to  the  public,  its  circulation  for 
thu  first  few  months  averaging  barely  300  copies  per  week;  and  it  was  then  the 


only  scientific  and  mechanical  journal  in  the  United  States.  Now,  in  the  cen- 
tennial year,  1876,  50,000  copies  liardly  suffice  the  "vreekly  demand,  this  number 
being  largely  in  excess  Of  the  combined  circulation  of  all  the  other  papers  of  its 
class  published  on  this  continent. 

In  the  31  years  thus  passed,  the  history  of  this  well  known  weekly  paper  is 
contemporaneous  with  and  largely  illustrates  the  astonishing  progress  of  this 
country  in  the  mechanical  arts  and  in  industrial  science;  and  it  is  with  feelings 
of  satisfaction  that  the  proprietors  refer  to  the  public  sentiment  which  univer- 
sally prevails :  that  The  Scientific  American  has  done  more  to  foster  improve- 
ments and  promote  the  progress  of  invention  and  the  mechanical  arts  in  this 
country  during  the  last  quarter  of  a  century  than  all  other  publications;  and 
although  the  publishers  continue  to  regard  the  promulgation  of  practical  informa- 
tion, on  the  industrial  arts  and  mechanical  progress  generally,  as  the  legitimate 
aim  of  the  paper,  they  are  glad  to  know  that  their  paper  is  a  welcome  guest 
in  the  home  and  at  the  fireside,  as  well  as  in  the  library,  workshop,  and  labor- 
atory. To  fulfil  all  these  requirements,  a  journal  must  record  all  the  discov- 
eries in  the  arts  at  home  and  abroad,  report  all  important  patents  as  fast  as  they 
are  issued,  and  leave  nothing  that  pertains  to  the  prosperity  of  the  manufac- 
turer or  the  comfort  of  the  home  unnoticed.  "With  pride  the  publishers  refer 
the  reading  public  to  the  past  volumes  of  their  journal,  to  be  found  in  the  most 
important  libraries  at  home  and  abroad,  where  they  are  constantly  referred  to 
for  data  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  discoveries  and  inventions. 

The  large  subscription  list  and  sale  of  the  Scientific  American  enables  its 
proprietors  to  give  out  weekly  the  handsomest  and  most  useful  illustrated  pei-i- 
odical  extant.    It  is  one  of  the  most  popular  weekly  journals  in  the  world,   and 


•224  THE  GREAT  N^EWSPAPERS. 

the  cheapest  periodical  devotetl  to  science,  art,  mechanics,  and  all  their  branches 
now  published  in  either  hemisphere.  For  engravings  ot  mechanical  subjects, 
the  Scientific  American  has  alwaj'-s  stood  at  the  head  of  all  publications  of  its 
kind  in  the  world,  and  the  same  artist  who  won  a  name  for  himself  for  the  good 
quality  of  his  engravings  on  this  paper  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  still  exe- 
cutes the  superb  cuts  which  now  ^race  its  pages ;  and  for  the  superiority  of  such 
work,  none  has  ever  excelled  Iiim.  The  cost  for  a  good  engraving  and  its  pub- 
lication in  the  editorial  column  is  but  trifling  compared  with  the  benefit  derived, 
if  one  wishes  to  negotiate  sales  of  territorial  rights,  or  the  manufactured  article. 
The  advantage  of  placing  a  picture  and  description  of  a  new  invention  before 
the  eyes  of  fifty  thousand  persons,  most  of  which  are  of  the  class  interested  in 
new  discoveries  and  new  devices,  cannot  fail  of  attracting  the  attention  of  all 
of  this  vast  numbei-,  and  of  being  of  special  interest  to  some.  The  receipt  of  a 
model,  photograph,  good  drawing,  or  a  copy  of  the  Letters  Patent,  is  sufficient 
to  estimate  the  cost  for  engraving,  and  we  would  recommend  parties  to  this 
course  in  advance  of  giving  the  order  for  the  execution  of  the  work. 

There  is  not  a  country  or  a  large  city  on  the  face  of  the  globe  where  the 
paper  does  not  circulate.  We  have  the  best  authority  for  stating  that  some  of 
the  largest  ordei-s  for  machinery  and  patented  articles  from  abroad  have  come 
to  our  manufacturers  through  the  medium  of  the  Scientific  American,  the  par- 
ties ordering  having  seen  the  article  illustrated  or  advertised  in  these  columns 
Small  models,  as  well  as  photographs  and  drawings,  may  be  sent  by  mail. 

Messrs.  Munn  &  Co.,  finding  that  their  endeavors  were  so  widely  appreciated 
by  the  public,  commenced  on  January  1,  1876,  the  publication  of  an  additional 
paper,  entitled  the  Scientific  American  Supplement.  The  success  of  the  new 
enterprise  v/as  ensured  as  soon  as  the  first  number  was  issued ;  and  within  three 
months  of  its  first  appearance,  it  attained  a  circulation  of  15,000  copies  weekly, 
making  it,  with  the  single  exception  of  the  Scientific  American,  the  most  widely 
spread  and  valuable  advertising  medium  in  the  country.  It  is,  like  the  Scien- 
tific American,  illustrated  with  a  constant  succession  of  excellent  engravings 
of  new  engineering  enterprises  and  mechanical  subjects. 

In  1846  Messrs.  Munn  &  Co.  established,  in  connection  with  the  publication 
of  the  Scientific  American,  the  buoiness  of  soliciting  patents,  and  soon  after- 
wards established  branch  offices  at  Washington,  London,  Paris,  Brussels,  and 
Vienna.  In  the  past  thirty  years  this  concern  has  grown  till  it  has  become  the 
largest  patent-soliciting  establishment  in  the  world,  having  been  honored  with 
the  confidence  of  more  than  60,000  clients,  and  prosecuted  to  a  successful  issue 
no  less  than  40,000  applications  for  letters  patent  in  this  and  other  countries. 
This  vast  number  is  not  much  less  than  one  fourth  of  the  whole  patent  business 
of  the  United  States,  and  has  been  acquired  by  lengthened  experience  and 
unrivaled  facilities  for  transacting  all  business  connected  with  patents  and  the 
Patent  Office.  The  principal  or  home  office  in  which  this  large  amount  of  busi- 
ness is  conducted  is  represented  in  the  engraving  at  the  commencement  of  this 
article;  and  the  large  number  of  experts  constantly  employed  have  been 
selected  mostly  from  the  ranks  of  the  Patent  Office  at  Washington,  and  they 
comprise  men  of  unusual  ability  for  the  execution  of  the  duties  of  their 
peculiar  profession.  Inventors  who  visit  this  great  establishment,  or  communi- 
cate their  inventions  by  writing,  will  find  that  the  best  professional  advice  and 
instructions  are  freely  given,  and  that  all  such  communications  are  kept  strictly 
confidential.  Daily  access  to  the  records  of  the  Patent  Office,  through  the  branch 
office  of  the  Scientific  American  in  Washington,  renders  it  possible  for  Munn  & 
Co.  to  conduct  their  immense  business  of  soliciting  patents  in  the  United  States 
and  all  foreign  countries  in  the  quickest,  cheapest,  and  most  satisfactory  manner. 
The  principal  office  of  the  Scientific  American  and  the  patent  department  is 
located  at  37  Park  Row,  New  York  City. 


THE  NEW  YORK  LEDGER. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPEK  EXHliilTlON. 


It  was  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  1854  that  Robert  Bonner  set  him- 
self the  task  of  making  the  New  York  Ledger  the  best  and  the  best-known 
family  paper  in  America.  Mr.  Bonner  was  then  thirty  years  old,  and  had 
already  had  several  years'  experience  as  a  publisher  and  an  editor.  He  did  not 
enter  upon  his  new  undertaking  without  much  and  well-considered  delibera- 
tion. He  possessed  unusual  advantages  for  the  enterprise.  He  was  not  only 
an  experienced  publisher  and  editor,  but  he  was  also  a  practical  printer,  and  a 
thorough  master  of  his  business  in  every  department  and  phase  of  it. 


LEDGER   BUILDING. 
During  the  year  1855  Mr.  Bonder  got  his  plans  well  in  hand,  and  though 
limited  in  means,  he  accompUsh'id  most  gratifying  results.    The  sale  of  the 
Ledger  ran  rapidly  up  to  a  high  figure,  and  the  profits  soon  became  large.    But 


220  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 


Mr.  BoxNER  was  not  content  with  a  measure  of  success  that  might  have  satisfied 
an  ordinarj'^  ambition.  He  turned  his  profits  into  his  business,  and  pushed  the 
Ledger  with  unexampled  enterprise  and  liberality.  He,  and  his  paper,  and 
his  energj'.  and  his  novel  modes  ofprocedui-e  becami;  matters  of  general  public 
discussion. 

The  circulation  of  the  Ledger  continued  to  increase,  and  before  the  close  of 
the  year  1856  it  far  exceeded  two  hundred  thousand  copies  a  Aveek.  From  thai 
time  it  has  constantly  grown  in  prosi)erit3',  in  reputation,  and  in  power,  until, 
in  its  commanding  influence,  in  the  extent  and  cliaracter  of  its  circulation,  and 
in  tlie  vastness  of  the  fortune  which  it  has  yielded  to  its  proprietor,  the  New 
York  Ledger  has  become  the  most  successtul  literary  and  family  paper  of 
which  we  have  any  icnowledge.  Its  circulation  at  times  has  reached  over  three 
hundred  and  fifty  thousand  copies. 

In  truth,  the  success  of  the  Ledger  is  looked  upon  as  one  of  those  marvels 
of  the  times  which  nobody  expects  to  comprehend.  The  general  impression  is 
that  thi  Ledger  has  been  pushed  with  almost  supn*human  energy,  and  con- 
ducted with  almost  superhuman  sagacitj^;  but  of  course  the  public  at  large  can- 
not be  expected  to  understand  or  even  to  remember  just  what  this  energy  and 
sagacity  have  done,  or  how  they  have  done  it.  It  is  doubtful  even  if  the  most 
assiduous  readers  of  th^  Ledger  for  the  last  twenty  years  could  name  a  tenth 
of  the  illustrious  statesmen,  editors,  educationists,  divdaes,  scholars,  essayists 
and  poets  who  have  in  that  time  written  for  it. 

AVemust  confess  that  until  we  recently  examined  the  flies  of  the  Ledger  we 
ourselves  had  no  idea  what  an  astounding  list  of  contributors  it  has  had.  We 
cannot  give  the  names  of  all  these  contributors— it  would  be  too  much  like 
publishing  a  dictionary  of  authors;  but  must  content  ourselves  with  mention- 
ing some  of  the  more  eminent  ones. 

Prominent  among  the  names  of  statesmen  who  have  written  for  the  Ledger 
are  those  of  Edward  Everett,  James  Buchanan.  President  of  the  United  States; 
Henry  Wilson,  Vice-President  of  the  United  States;  Geoi-ge  Bancroft,  and  Gen- 
eral N.  P.  Banks.  Also,  United  States  Senators  Anthony  and  Sprague  of  Rhode 
Island,  Edmunds  of  Vermont,  Ferry  of  Connecticut,  Stockton  of  New  Jersej', 
Sherman  of  Ohio,  Morton  of  Indiana,  and  Cameron  of  Pennsylvania. 

Many  of  the  greatest  journalists  we  have  ever  had  in  America  have  been 
contributors  to  the  Ledger;  among  othei's,  James  Gordon  Bennett  (senior), 
Horace  Greeley,  Henry  J.  Raymond,  George  Ripley,  Charles  A.  Dana,  and 
George  D  Prentice  and  William  Cullen  Bryant,  also  eminent  as  poets  as  well  as 
distinguished  as  editors.  In  addition  to  these,  in  the  list  of  poets,  we  find  the 
names  of  N.  P.Willis,  George  P.  Morris,  Mrs.  Sigourney,  Phebe  Gary,  Alice  Gary, 
Emma  Alice  Brown,  Ethel  Lynn,  Nathan  D.  Urner,  John  G.  Saxe,  Henry  W. 
Longfellow  and  Alfred  Tennyson. 

On  the  list  of  prose  contributors  to  the  Ledger  we  find  the  names  of  Charles 
Dickens,  Fred.  S.  Cozzens,  Paul  Morphy,  James  Parton,  Fanny  Fern,  Mrs.  Horace 
Greeley,  Mrs.Southworth,  Mrs.Harriet  Lewis,  Miss  Eliza  A.Dupuy,  Mary  KyleDal- 
las,  Sylvanus  Cobb,  Jr.,  Leon  Lewis,  Prof.  William  Henry  Peck.  Judge  Clark,  Miss 
L.  M.  Alcott,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Blackwell,  Lydia  3Iaria  Child,  Mrs.  Horace  Mann, 
Mrs.  N.  P.  Willis,  Madame  Le  Vert,  Mrs.  General  Banks,  Mrs.  President  Barnard, 
INIrs.  Howard  Crosby,  Mrs.  Chancellor  Ferris  and  Mrs.  Jessie  Benton  Fremont. 

The  presidents  of  many  of  the  leading  colleges  in  America  have  also  been 
contributors  to  the  columns  of  the  Ledger.  Among  these  eminent  scholars  were 
Rev.  Thomas  Hill,  D.D.,LL.  D.,  President  of  Harvard  College;  Rev.  Theodore 
D.  Woolsey,D.D.,  President  of  Yale  College;  Rev.  John  Maclean,  D.D.,  President 
of  the  College  of  New  Jersey;  Rev.  D.  R,  Goodwin,  D.D.,  President  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania;  Rev.  Asa  D.  Smith,  D.D.,  President  of  Dartmouth  College; 
Rev.  W.  A.  Stearns,  D.D.,  Pi-esident  of  Amherst  College;  Rev.  Mark  Hopkins, 
D.D.jLL.D.,  President  of  Williams  College;  Rev.  Laurens  P.  Hickok,D.D.,LL.D., 
President  of  Union  College;  Rev.  E,  O.  Haven,  D.D.,  LL.  D.,  President  of  the 
University  of  Michigan;  Rev.  Joseph  Cummings,  D.D.,  LL.  D„  President  of  the 
Wesley  an  University;  Rev.  S.  G.Brown,  D.D.,  President  of  Hamilton  College, 
and  Rev.  M.  B.  Anderson,  LL.  D.,  President  of  the  University  of  Rochester. 

In  addition  to  these  eminent  scholars  and  divines,  we  also  find  the  following 


OF  THE  UiSTITED  STATES.  227 

names  on  the  list  of  writers  for  the  Ledger  :  Rev.  Stephen  H.  Tyng,  D.D.,  Rev- 
Francis  Vinton,  D.D.,  Rev.  Edward  Everett  Hale,  Rev.  J.  Hyatt  Smith,  Rev 
Trj^on  Edwards,  D.D.,  Rev.  John  McCliutock,  D.D.,  Rev.  Thomas  Armdtage, 
D.D.,  Rev.  Samuel  Osgood,  D.D.,  Rev.  Thomas  H.  Skinner,  D.D  ,  Rev.  Leonard 
Bacon,  D.D.,  Rev.  Howard  Crosby,  D.D.,  Bishop  Simpson  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church,  Rev.  J.  Williams,  D.D.,  LL.  D.,  Bishop  of  Connecticut,  Rev. 
.John  Hall,  D.D. ,  of  New  York,  and  Rev.  Thomas  M.  Clark,  D.D.,  LL.  D.,  Bishop 
of  Rhode  Island. 

What  other  paper  can  show  such  a  list  of  illustrious  contributors  ?  Histoi-yi 
biography,  statesmanship,  theology,  poetry,  art,  science,  philosophj',  literature, 
and  whatever  relates  to  the  educational  interests  and  the  social  and  domestic 
well-being  of  the  people,  have  their  representatives  and  advocates  here.  If  we 
properly  grasp  this  great  fact  it  will  enable  us  to  get  some  notion  of  the  means 
by  which  the  Ledger  has  gained  the  commanding  position  which  it  now  holds. 
It  always  has  the  largest  number  of  great  and  distinguished  contributors  writ- 
ing for  it.  It  appeals  to  and  gratifies  every  wholesome  literary  and  educational 
taste.  It  is  always  a  live  paper,  and  perpetually  keeps  pace  with  the  genius  and 
spirit  of  Amei'ican  progress.  It  contains  the  purest,  sweetest  and  most  delight- 
ful stories,  striking  narratives  and  instructive  biographical  and  historical 
sketches;  also,  a  popular  and  carefully-prepared  collection  of  scientific  facts, 
forming  a  weekly  register  of  the  latest  scientific  discoveries. 

All  kinds  of  questions  which  Interest  the  great  family  of  man  are  also  an. 
swered  in  the  columns  of  the  Ledger;  and  a  great  amount  of  information  on 
matters  of  law,  businesf ,  marriage,  love,  housekeeping,  the  relations  of  friends, 
personal  differences,  etiquette,  plans  of  life,  &c.,  is  thus  communicated. 

As  the  Ledger  is  largely  the  oracle  of  the  young  people  of  the  country,  one 
of  its  gr^at  guiding  principles  is  to  inculcate  the  sentiments  of  self-respect  and 
self-reliance  in  its  readers,  and  thus  to  sti'engthen  and  render  more  manly  the 
characters  which  are  just  assuming  form,  to  endure  through  all  their  days. 
Thus,  while  the  Ledger  is  read  with  the  warmest  and  most  intense  interest  by 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  persons,  it  is  doing  much  to  inculcate  sound  principles 
wherever  it  goes,  and  to  make  better  men  and  women  ot  the  rising  generation 
This  is  one  reason  why  the  Ledger  is  such  a  general  favorite,  and  why  the  educa 
tionists  of  the  country  like  to  write  for  it.  A  College  President,  or  a  Doctor  of 
Divinity,  who  addresses  the  public  through  the  columns  of  the  Ledger  reaches 
every  citj',  town,  village  and  hamlet  in  the  United  States,  and  speaks  to  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  intelligent  people. 

One  of  the  most  striking  facts  in  connection  with  the  Ledger  is  the  continu. 
ous  vitality  of  Mr.  Bonner's  personal  energy  and  business  enterprise.  He  is  as 
wide  awake  now  as  he  was  twenty  years  ago.  He  is  always  on  the  alert  for  any 
new  feature  that  he  thinks  will  render  his  paper  more  useful  and  attractive,  and 
he  never  allows  the  cost  to  .stand  in  the  way  of  his  securing  a  good  thing  for  the 
Ledger. 

The  grand  result  of  all  this  enterprise  and  sagacity — of  this  vast  array  of 
em^inent  and  popular  contributors— of  these  deep,  pure  streams  of  literature 
which  have  been  flowing  through  the  columns  of  the  Ledger  for  so  many  years 
—is,  that  the  popularity  of  the  New  York  Ledger  is  now  unbounded ;  its  circu 
lat  ion  covers  the  whole  land ;  the  young,  the  middle-aged,  and  the  old,  the  rich 
and  the  poor,  the  learned  and  the  unlearned  alike  find  entertainment  and  in 
struction  in  its  pages ;  it  enlivens  and  brightens  thousands  upon  thousands  of 
liomes;  it  is  firmly  fixed  in  the  confidence  and  the  affection  of  the  American 
people,  and  its  influence— -which  is  always  on  the  side  of  virtue,  morality  and 
religion— is  immeasurable. 


"  THE  EVENING  NEWS,"  DETROIT,  MICH. 


A  GREAT  JOULINALISTIC  SUCCESS  IN  THE  WEST. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CEXTENXIAL  NEWSPAPEK  EXHIBITIOX. 


For  several  years  Mr.  James  E.  Scripps,  then  manager  of  the  Detroit  Tribune, 
had  entertained  a  growing  conviction  tliat  a  cheap,  popular  newspaper, 
somewhat  similar  to  the  Boston  Herald,  the  New  York  Sun,  and  the  Philadelphia 
Public  Ledger,  might  be  made  as  great  a  success  in  the  West  as  in  the  Eastern 
cities,  although  all  attempts  of  the  kind  had  previously  proven  failures.  From 
a  long  practical  acquaintance  with  journalism,  and  an  attentive  study  of  it  as 
a  science,  he  believed  that  the  rocks  and  shoals  upon  which  so  many  news- 
papers had  been  wrecked  might  be  avoided,  and  publishing  be  made  as  safe 
and  certain  as  any  other  business  enterprise.  It  was  in  pursuance  of  this  theory 
that,  on  August  23, 1873,  The  Evening  NEVi^s  was  launched  in  Detroit,  the  chief 
city  of  Michigan.  The  new  venture  was  thoroughly  advertised  beforehand,  an 
able  corps  of  assistants  was  secured,  embracing  the  very  best  men  that  could 
be  had,  and  a  four  cylinder  Hoe  press  was  purchased,  with  a  capacity  of  10,000 
copies  per  hour.  Within  five  months  The  Evening  News  had  reached  a  paying 
basis,  and  was  printing  regularly  over  5,000  copies  each  afternoon.  By  the 
close  of  its  first  year  its  circulation  exceeded  10,000  copies;  its  second  year 
closed  with  a  regular  average  issue  of  17,025  copies,  and  by  May  1, 1876,  it  had 
risen  to  over  18,000  copies  each  day.  The  success  of  The  Evening  News  is 
owing  to  several  causes. 

1st.  The  paper  is  cheap  and  readily  within  the  reach  of  the  masses,  being 
sold  to  the  public  at  two  cents  per  copy,  or  at  fifty  cents  per  month. 

2d.  It  is  of  such  a  size  (22x32  inches)  that  it  is  kept  constantly  crowded,  either 
with  advertising  at  good,  fair  prices,  or  with  choice  reading  matter— nothing 
dull,  prosy  or  carelessly  prepared  being  permitted  in  its  columns. 

3d.  It  has  a  large  staff  of  capable  Avriters,  and  aims  to  maintain  as  high  a 
standard  of  excellence  in  the  character  of  work  done  upon  it  as  any  newspaper 
in  the  country. 

4th.  It  is  independent  in  all  things,  and  neither  fears  a  foe  nor  shields  a 
friend. 

5th.  It  is  emphatically  a  netwspaper,  and  is  looked  to  by  the  people  of  Michigan 
both  for  the  earliest  tidings  of  current  events  and  the  most  trustworthy  accounts 
of  them. 

Between  7,000  and  8,000  copies  are  circulated  throughout  the  State  of  Michigan, 
while  the  remainder  are  taken  in  and  around  the  city  of  Detroit,  which,  with 
its  suburbs,  exceeds  150,000  inhabitants. 

What  the  Herald  is  to  Massachusetts,  the  Sun  to  New  York,  and  the  Public 
Ledger  to  Pennsylvania,  The  Evening  News  is  to  the  prosperous  and  growing 
State  of  Michigan,  and  the  border  counties  of  Ohio,  Indiana  and  Ontario. 

The  actual  number  of  papers  printed  and  sold  in  the  first  year  of  The 
Evening  News  history  was  2,063,950.  In  the  second  year  the  number  rose  to 
4,097,463,  and  for  the  first  eight  months  of  the  third  year  to  3,489, 190,  indicating  a 
total  for  the  full  year  (which  does  not  close  till  August  23d)  of  5,233,785. 

The  Evening  News  is  one  of  the  very  few  newspapers  in  the  United  States 
which  can  afford  to  publish  from  week  to  week  its  exact  circulation.  This  it 
has  conscientiously  done  from  the  first. 


THE  MORNING  NEWS,"  SAVANNAH,  GA. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTEXNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


In  point  of  rapid  growth  and  prosperity,  the  ranking  paper  of  the  Southern 
States  is  the  Savannah  (Ga.)  Morning  News,  of  which  Mr.  J.  II.  Estill  is  pro- 
prietor. He  lias  just  moved  into  a  new  building  ot  iiis  own,  wliich,  in  its  finish 
and  appointments,  has  no  equal  in  any  of  the  more  Southern  States,  and  is  the 
first  building  of  the  kind  south  of  Maryland  and  Kentucky. 

Its  erection  was  commenced  on  the  6th  of  July,  1S75,  and  its  occupation  took 
place  on  the  15th  of  January,  1870,  the  26th  anniversary  of  the  papei-.  It  presents 
an  attractive  and  imposing  exterior,  is  four  stories  ou  a  basement,  with  heat 
front  of  Georgia  granite,  and  from  the  street  to  the  top  of  the  cupola  is  eighty- 
eight  feet  high.  The  arrangements  of  the  building  are  admirable,  and  afl'ord 
ample  facilities  for  the  various  departments  of  the  newspaper  publication  office, 


the  extensive  job 
printing  e  s  t  a  b  - 
lisliment,  and  the 
blank  book  manu- 
factory and  bind- 
ery. Communica- 
tion is  had  witli 
the  various  floors 
by  means  of 
speaking  tubes, 
dumb  waiters  and 
one  of  Bates'  pat- 
ent elevators ;  and 
the  entire  build- 
ing  is  supplied 
with  all  the  mod- 
ern conveniences 
and  comforts, 
with  thorough 
ventilation  and 
protection 
against  fire,  and, 
in  brief,  is  a  model 
newspaper  e  d  i  - 
flee,  an  ornament 


to  the  city,  and 
practical  evi- 
dence of  the  pros- 
perity of  the  in- 
fluential and  able 
journal  whose 
home  it  is. 

From  a  little 
bantling,  one- 
third  its  present 
size,  the  Morning 
News  launched 
upon  the  uncer- 
tain seas  of  jour- 
nalism in  1S50, 
with  three  for- 
midable competi- 
toi-s  already  occu- 
pying the  field, 
and  at  a  time 
when  public  feel- 
ing ran  high  in 
consequence  of

interests  and  po-

litical  opinions  in  the  South,  by  its  persistent  and  fearless  advocacy  of  consti- 
tutional liberty,  steadily  progressed  in  the  good  will  of  the  community.  During 
the  first  decade  of  its  existence  it  had  written  the  obituaries  of  two  of  its 
original  competitors  and  four  subsequent  journalistic  rivals,  and  at  the  com- 
mencement of  the  war,  the  Morning  Neavs  and  the  old  Eepuhlican  were  in  sole 
possession  of  the  field,  and  Avere  undisturbed  during  the  continuance  of  the 
struggle. 

The  career  of  the  Morning  News  during  the  war  was  similar  to  that  of  most 
papers  in  Southern  cities,  with  the  difference  that  it  never  suspended,  save 
for  a  few  days,  consequent  upon  the  occupation  of  the  city  by  the  Federal  forces. 

From  that  time  until  1867,  when  the  present  proprietor  took  charge,  the  Morn- 
ing News  had  a  very  precarious  existence.  From  that  period  onward,  however, 
there  was  a  marked  change  in  the  paper;  energy,  good  management,  with  the 
expenditure  of  every  dollar  that  could  be  spared,  soon  placed  the  Morning 
News  far  in  advance  of  its  contemporaries,  several  new  papers  having  been 
started  after  the  close  of  the  war.    One  by  one  these  journalistic  enterprises 


230  THE  GREAT  KEWSPAPERS 

drooped  and  died,  and  in  the  summer  of  1875,  the  Morning  News,  by  absorbing 
the  Advertiser,  became  the  only  daily  paper  in  Savannah,  and  is  so  to  this  day, 
with  little  prospect  of  having  any  competition,  as  the  experiences  of  the  past 
ten  years  have  demonstrated  the  fact  that  in  the  South,  where  there  is  almost 
entire  unanimity  of  political  views  among  the  whites,  one  live,  progressive 
journal  fills  the  public  demand.  Such  a  journal  is  the  Morning  News,  the  ac- 
knowledged head  of  the  Georgia  press,  from  its  large  circulation  and  great 
influence. 

Particular  attention  is  given  to  Georgia  and  Florida  affairs,  as  also  to  South 
Carolina  news,  in  which  States  the  News  circulates  largely,  especially  in  Florida, 
where  its  circulation  almost  equals  the  combined  circulation  of  the  entire  press 
of  the  State.  Hence,  to  those  desirous  of  obtaining  correct  information  in  re- 
gard to  Southwest  Georgia  and  Florida,  the  Morning  News  is  invaluable.  In  all 
its  departments  the  paper  is  fully  up  with  the  spirit  of  the  age,  and  is  a  credit  to 
Southern  journalism. 

The  News,  however,  does  not  confine  its  eflbrts  to  the  section  in  which  it  is 
published,  but  stands  prominent  among  Southern  journals  as  a  first-class  me- 
dium for  general  intelligence,  and  as  a  bold  and  fearless  exponent  of  the  princi- 
ples of  the  democratic  party.  It  publishes  three  editions— a  daily,  tri- weekly 
and  weekly. 

The  rank  which  the  News  has  attained  among  the  newspapers  of  the  South 
is  somewhat  remarkable  Avhen  it  is  taken  into  consideration  that  Savannah  was 
outranked  by  a  number  of  other  cities  in  population  before  the  war. 


"THE  NEW  YORK  WEEKLY." 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF   THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  New  York  Weekly,  which  is  universally  recognized  as  "  the  greatest 
story  and  sketch  paper  of  the  age,"  came  into  the  possession  of  its  present  pro- 
prietors, Messrs.  Street  &  Smith,  in  March,  1S59.  At  that  time  its  circulation 
was  about  28,000  copies,  and  outside  of  the  metropolis  it  was  little  known.  Now 
the  name  of  the  New  York  Weekly  has  a  familiar  ring  in  every  habitation 
within  the  boundaries  of  American  civiliz  ition.  Its  constituency  is  numbered 
by  millions,  and  its  circulation  is  greater  than  that  of  any  other  paper  in  the 
world. 

The  remarkable  prosperity  of  the  New  York  Weekly  cannot  be  attributed 
to  dance  or  luck.  The  tact,  judgment,  industry  and  enterprise  of  Street  & 
Smith  have  commanded  success  where  men  of  less  pluck  and  energy  would 
have  ingloriously  failed. 

Many  publishers  who  have  tried  the  experiment  are  aware  that  it  is  no 
chihrs  play  to  compete  withthJ  numerous  literary  papers  now  established.  But 
the  New  York  Weekly,  in  its  competition  for  popular  favor,  long  since  stepped 
far  in  advance  of  all  opposition,  and  is  now  considered  the  leading  literary 
paper  in  the  world. 

"THE  NEW  YORK  WEEKLY"  ESTABLISHMENT. 

A  brief  reference  to  the  New  York  Weekly  establishment,  with  a  descrip- 
tion of  its  various  dep  u-tmeats,  may  prove  interesting  to  the  reader  The  New 
York  Weekly  buildings  are  located  at  Nos.  27,  29  &  31  Rose  Street,  withm 
sight  of  the  City  Hall  and  the  Post-office. 

THE. PUBLICATION  OFFICE. 

The  private  offices  of  Messrs.  Street  &  Smith  and  the  publication  depart- 
ment are  on  the  second  story  of  No.  31.  The  office  of  Mr.  Francis  S.  Street 
fronts  on  Rose  street;  and  here  the  contributors  and  visitors  who  call  for  the 
first  time  are  amazed  on  beholding  piles  of  unpublished  manuscripts,  some  in 
safes  and  some  on  shelves. 

The  aggregate  value  of  manuscripts  now  on  hand,  we  have  learned,  is  over 
two  hundred  thousand  dollars.  Fancy  for  a  moment  the  anxiety  with  which 
these  manuscripts  are  contemplated  by  the  hundreds  of  writers  whose  busy 
brains  and  nimble  fingers  produced  them.  For  years  many  of  the  authors  have 
impatiently  awaiteil  the  appearance  of  their  works  in  print,  and  with  keen  eyes 
scanned  each  number  of  the  New  York  Weekly,  with  the  hope  of  finding  the 
announcement  that  at  last  a  deftnate  day  has  been  named  for  tho  appearance  of 
the  story  which,  it  is  hoped,  is  to  bring  fame,  and  conseciuently  fortune,  to  the 
author. 

At  the  rear  of  the  second  floor  is  the  sanctum  of  Mr.  Francis  S.  Smith,  which 
is  tastefully  decorated  with  paintings  of  a  high  order  of  merit.  Here  Mr.  Smith's 
pleasant  face  may  be  seen  in  a  cloud  of  blue  smoke,  for  he  is  an  inveterate 
smoker,  and  seems  to  derive  poetic  inspiration  from  a  cigar.  Here  the 
voluminous  correspondence  received  each  day  is  glanced  over  by  Mr.  Smith 
after  the  business  letters  have  been  selected  therefrom  by  Mr.  Street,  who  i-^ 
the  business  miuagor  and  attends  to  all  the  financial  matt!>rs.  Mr.  Smith 
devotes  his  attention  exclusive'y  to  the  literary  management  of  the  paper,  and 
while  each  partner  is  in  a  measure  independent  in  his  own  sphere,  perfect 
harmony  prevails. 

The  Publication  Department  is  between  the  two  offices  just  mentioned .    The 


232  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 


cashier  and  the  receiving  and  mail  clerks  occupy  this  portion  of  the  building 
The  sides  of  the  room  are  faced  with  boxes  containing  hade  numbers  of  the  NEW 
York  Weekly,  for  which  there  is  a  constant  demand. 

THE  MAILING  ROOM. 
The  mailing  room  is  on  the  second  floor  of  No.  29.    Numerous  clerks  nre 
here  kept  busy  putting  the  names  of  new  subscribers  in  the  mail  books,  writing 
wrappers,  and  preparing  for  the  post-office  the  immense  edition  whicli  each 
week  is  forwarded  to  mail  subscribers. 

EDITORIAL  ROOMS. 

The  editorial  rooms  are  directly  over  the  publication  department.  On  one 
side  of  tlie  room  is  the  library— a  collection  of  useful  works  of  reference.  The 
great  variety  of  information  supplied  by  this  1  ibrary  may  be  inferred  by  glancing 
over  the  correspondence  column  of  the  New  York  Weekly.  Authors  cannot 
object  to  our  terming  the  editoi-ial  department  '•  the  council  chamber  of  a 
literary  grand  jury."  Here  a  juiy  of  four  experienced  journalists  sit  in  judg- 
ment upon  the  various  manuscripts  receivetl.  Upon  their  decision  rests  the 
hopes  and  fears  of  thousands  of  writers  who  have  sought  the  New  York 
Weekly  as  a  medium  to  spread  their  productions  broadcast  throughout  the 
land. 

THE  ENGRAVING  DEPARTMENT. 

The  engraving  department  is  on  the  same  floor  with  the  editorial  rooms. 
The  blocks  from  which  the  illustrations  are  printed  are  here  engraved  by  a 
corps  of  competent  artists.  The  subjects  for  illustration  are  usually  selected  by 
the  editors,  but  sometimes  by  the  draughtsmen. 

THE  COMPOSITION  ROOM. 
The  composition  room  is  on  the  fourth  floor,  over  the  editorial  rooms.  Here 
are  arranged  in  proper  order  the  multitudinous  types  which  each  week  impart 
to  the  world  instruction,  entertainment,  and  amusement.  Here  the  interesting 
stories,  the  suggestive  essays,  the  stirring  poems,  and  mirth-arousing  anecdotes 
are  converted  from  manuscripts,  letter  by  letter,  and  word  by  word,  into  square 
♦«  forms  "  of  type,  ready  for  the  electrotyper.  So  large  is  the  circulation  of  the 
New  York  Weekly  that  nine  sets  of  plates  are  taken  by  the  electrotypei.'  These 
duplicates  are  absolutely  necessarj-,  as  nine  presses,  working  night  and  day, 
are  required  to  print  the  immense  edition  of  the  New  York  Weeky. 

THE   PRESS-ROOM. 

The  press-room  is  in  the  building  No.  27  Rose  street.  In  this  department  the 
nine  presses,  moved  by  an  engine  of  169  horse-power,  may  be  seen  at  work,  night 
and  day,  throwing  off  the  printed  sheets,  ready  for  the  counter,  who  counts  and 
arranges  the  papers  in  bundles  of  fifty.  One  man  is  constantly  employed  count- 
ing the  New  York  Weekly,  and  performs  no  other  dutj^his  entire  time  being 
occupied  in  this  work.  When  the  edition  is  all  printed,  it  is  conveyed  in  wagons 
to  the  establishment  of  the  American  News  Companj'-,  the  wholesale  agents,  by 
whom  it  is  distributed  to  the  various  retail  agents  throughout  the  country. 

The  Boys  of  the  World,  a  paper  intended  for  tlie  instruction  and  entertain- 
ment of  the  rising  generation,  is  also  published  by  Street  &  Smith.  This  paper, 
although  but  seven  months  established,  has  a  circulation  of  over  60,000  copies, 
and  is  greatly  admired  by  the  young  folks. 

Tlie  Mammoth  Monthly  Reader  is  another  publication  issued  by  Street  & 
Smith.  This,  also,  has  a  wide  circulation,  chiefly  among  mail  subscribers,  to 
whom  it  is  sent  at  the  low  price  of  seventy-flve  cents  per  year. 


THE  NEW  YORK  "  CLIPPER." 


A  SKETCH  FOU  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAT.  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


Issued  originally  on  April  30,  1853,  this  is  the  oldest  sporting  paper  in 
America.  Its  editor  at  the  beginning  is  its  editor  to-day,  and  this  enables  the 
paper  to  be  consistent  with  itself.  Its  reports  are  the  work  of  trained  minds, 
who  have  seen  years  of  associated  service ;  its  summaries  are  compiled  with 
care,  so  as  to  be  a  reference  for  all  time ;  its  comparative  reliability  has  passed 
into  a  proverb,  and  its  decisions  xipon  mooted  points  are  solicited  from  almost 
everj'  known  quarter.  Recognized  for  more  than  twenty  years  as  the  favored 
organ  of  the  sporting  community  in  America,  since  1855  it  has  steadily  grown 
in  popular  regard  as  the  leading  amusement  journal  of  America.  It  is  a  reflex 
of  every  phase  of  show  life;  its  correspondents,  almost  ubiquitous,  are 
numerous;  its  reports  of  amusements  are  fuller  than  those  of  any  other  journal 
published  on  this  continent,  while  covering  a  greater  area  of  country ;  audits 


constant  aim  is  to 
furnish  facts,  which 
are  unchangeable 
and  endure,  rather 
than  opinions,  which 
fluctuate  and  perish. 
Its  many  and  well- 
stored  columns  regu- 
larly devoted  to  tlie 
movements  of  estab- 
lished performers,  to 
the  erection  and 
opening  of  new  thea- 
tres and  halls  and 
the  closing  of  old 
ones,  to  the  produc- 
tion of  new  plays 
upon  the  legitimate 
stage  and  of  new 
acts  in  the  variety, 
minstrel  or  circus 
line,  and  to  the  dehvt 
of  new  performer- 
and  the  whereabouts 
of  temporarily  re- 
tired   ones,   have  of 


late  years  been  sup- 
plemented by  an  old- 
bill  department,  to 
which  many  of  our 
leading  actors,  min- 
strels and  cii'cus  peo- 
ple are  occasional 
contributors.  These 
old  playbills,  while 
recalling  pleasant 
memories,  serve  to 
brush  away  the  cob- 
webs of  time,  and  in 
many  instances  of 
error. 

The  New  York 
Clipper  is  a  paper 
for  everybody  —  a 
ilaily  and  a  weekly 
combined.  In  it  are 
original  serials, 
bright  tales,  humor- 
ous sketches  and  dia- 
logues, songs,  glees 
and  poems,  News  of 
the  Week,  Record  of 


then.   X.    •OLIPi'Kij"  ii(Jli.DlN< 

the  Deaths  of  Prominent  Individuals,  Clipper  Post-office  List,  and,  finally,  the 
department  known  as  Answers  to  Correspondents,  which,  although  from  time  to 
time  treating  of  almost  every  known  subject,  are  especially  serviceable  to 
persons  seeking  information  concerning  amusements  or  sports,  the  most  trust- 
worthy and  complete  record  of  both  of  which  are  the  files  of  the  paper.  The 
questions  thus  answered  weekly  have  the  supreme  merit  of  being  bona  fide; 
and,  apart  from  the  instruction  they  aflfoi'd,  the  answers  are  invaluable  as  de- 
termining disputes  alike  in  the  social  circle  and  among  pi-ofessional  people. 

The  New  York  Clipper  is  essentially  a  journal  of  record  and  of  reference. 
It  is  to  be  expected  that  a  newspaper  possessing  so  many  features,  and  in  its 
fifty-six  long  columns  of  compact  type  covering  so  vast  a  field,  should  be  in 
demand  in  the  business  community.  The  extent  of  this  demand  is  attested 
weekly  by  advertisements  filling  several  pages,  making  public  proclamation  of 
manifold  industries,  and  representing  a  thousand  ditTerent  interests.    It  has 


234  THE  GllEAT  I^EAVSPAPERS 

created  a  special  class  of  advertisers,  and  yet  all  classes  avail  themselves  of  its 
columns,  for  its  moderate  tariff  places  it  within  reach  of  all.  Its  rates  of  adver- 
tising are  ; 

For  cards  coming  under  the  head  of  Amusements,  fifteen  cents  per  line  for 
each  insertion ;  forcardsof  a  Miscellaneous  or  Sporting  c\viiYix,ctiiv,  twenty  cents 
per  line ;  for  Notices,  such  as  extracts  from  other  papers  and  incorporated  in 
News  Departments  (not  to  be  inserted  more  than  once),  thirty  cents  per  line. 
The  terms  are  cash,  with  a  reduction  of  twenty  per  cent,  on  all  advertisements 
paid  for  three  months  in  advance.  The  paper  has  no  advertising  agents,  and 
has  never  solicited  an  advei'tisement.  The  subscription  prices  are  $5  per 
annum,  $2.50  for  six  months,  and  $1.25  for  three  months;  single  copies,  10 
cents.  To  clubs  of  four  or  more  a  reduction  of  fifty  cents  is  made  on  each 
single  subscription ;  but  subscribers  in  Canada  and  the  British  Pi'ovinces  are 
charged  $1  per  annum  extra,  to  cover  postage.  No  subscriptions  in  New  York 
City  are  taken.  All  business  letters  or  communications  must  be  addressed  to 
Frank  Queen,  Editor  and  Proprietor  Niow  York  Clipper,  corner  of  Centre 
and  Leonard  streets,  New  York,  where  the  paper  occupies  an  elegant  biillding 
expressly  erected  for  it  in  1869.

The  TuoY  Times  was  I'oundecl  in  1851  by  Francis  &  Thompson.  The  lattei- 
retired  in  about  one  year,  and  John  M.  Francis  continued  the  paper  alone  as  edi- 
tor and  publisher  until  1863,  wlien  Henry  O'R.  Tucker  became  his  jjartner  and  tlie 
business  manager  of  the  concern.  The  Times  is  one  of  tlie  most  succcessful  jour- 
nals in  New  York  State,  and  enjoys  a  larger  advertising  patronage  than  any  other 
paper  in  the  State  outside  of  the  cities  of  New  York  and  Biooklyn.  Its  circula- 
tion is  nearly  double  that  of  any  daily  in  the  State  not  metropolitan,  and  it  is 
the  favorite  journal,  not  only  in  tlie  city  of  Troy,  but  also  in  Northern  New  York 
and  the  adjacent  portions  of  Vermont  and  Massachusetts.  Its  area  of  circulation 
and  influence  extends  from  Troy  northward  along  botli  shores  of  Lake  Chain- 
plain  to  the  very  borders  of  Canada.

••TI]VIES"  BUILDING. 
The  Times  has  an  influence  commensurate  with  its  business  success, 
and  its  opinions  and  sentiments  on  all  subjects  are  widely  quoted,  and 
command  general  attention.  Its  editor  Hon.  John  M.  Francis,  has  achieved 
almost  a  national  reputation  in  his  profession;  while  as  a  diplomatic  rep- 
resentative of  our  government  at  the  court  of  Greece  from  1872  to  1871,  when 
he  resigned  the  i^osition,  and  as  a  traveler  his  name  is  well  known  in 
distinguished  and  educated  circles  in  Europe.  The  Times  is  published  in  an 
elegant  iron  building  costing  upwards  of  $1.50,000,  and  its  office  appointments 
are  unusually  complete  in  detail  and  perfect  in  arrangement.  Tlie  building 
occupies  one  of  the  most  valuable  sites  in  the  city  of  Ti-oy.  It  is  four  stories 
high,  surmounted  by  a  French  roof  with  towers,  and  presents  a  very  imposing 
architectural  appearance.  Its  dimensions  are  1:30  feet  in  length  by  50  in  width. 
The  papei  is  printed  upon  a  four-cylinder  Hoe  rotary  press,  but  its  proprietors 
are  now  contemplating  the  purchase  of  a  web  perfecting  machine,  with  which 
to  lay  its  large  and  constantly-increasing  edition  more  quickly  and  satisfac- 
torily before  its  readers.  The  Times  is  Republican  in  its  political  convictions, 
and  an  earnest  advocate  of  the  principles  of  that  party.  During  the  war,  so 
heartily  had  it  espoused  the  cause  of  the  government,  that  in  the  draft  riot  in 
the  city  of  Troy,  July,  1863,  its  office  was  mobbed,  and  all  its  type  and  material 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 


destroyed.  The  Times  is  a  folio  29x41  inches  in  size,  and  contains  eight  columns 
upon  each  page.  On  Saturdays  the  size  of  the  paper  is  increased  by  the  addi- 
tion of  one  cohimn  per  page,  in  order  to  accommodate  the  pressure  upon  its 
advertising  department.  The  system  which  prevails  in  the  management  of  its 
business  departments— especially  in  the  arrangement  and  classification  of  its 
advertisements— is  perfect  in  detail  and  admirably  carried  out.  This,  together 
with  the  large  circulation  of  the  paper,  and  the  relative  cheapness  of  its  adver- 
tising rates  compared  with  those  of  journals  of  inferior  circulation ,  makes  its  col 
umnsso  attractive  and  valuable  to  all  who  desire  to  reach  the  public  through  the 
press.  The  Times  is  admirably  printed,  and  typographicallj-  is  excelled  in  appear- 
ance by  no  daily  journal  anywhere.  It  is  a  representative  newspaper  every 
way— in  the  clearness  and  freshness  of  its  editorial  discussions,  in  the  unrivalled 
excellence  of  its  news  department  and  miscellaneous  selections  and  in  the  full- 
ness and  intelligence  of  its  correspondence  from  all  parts  of  the  world.  As  a 
newspaper  simply,  it  ranks  with  the  best  in  this  country ;  while  as  an  advertis- 
ing medium  it  has  no  equal  (in  fact  no  single  journal  approaches  it)  in  the  ter- 
ritorial limits  to  which  its  circulation  is  conliued. 


"THE  EVENING  BULLETIN,"  SAN  FRANCISCO. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION 


This  journal  was  foundecl  in  1855,  at  a  time  when  corruption  in  public  affairs 
at  San  Francisco  had  become  the  rule,  and  all  the  avenues  of  justice  were  so 
completely  in  possession  of  the  vicious  classes,  that  virtue  scarcely  dared  to 
raise  its  head  There  was  slight  exaggeration  in  the  assertion  often  made  in 
those  days,  that  a  ruffian  thirsting  for  the  blood  of  an  enemy,  or  desiring  to 
remove  some  human  obstacle  from  his  own  path,  could  bai'gain  in  advance, 
with  sheriflfs  and  courts,  and  definitely  ari-ange  the  sum  for  which  he  should  be 
put  through  the  forms  of  a  bogus  trial,  and  acquitted  of  the  murder  which  he 
contemplated.  Gamblers,  thieves  and  ballot-box  stuffers  were  the  terror  of  the 
cities.  The  great  majority  of  the  people  silentlj'^  mourned  this  condition  of 
affairs,  but  seemed  powerless.  The  desperadoes  were  organized,  and  therefore 
formidable.  The  honest  masses  were  without  organization,  and  so  their  senti- 
ments were  not  consolidated  and  embodied  in  action.  It  was  in  this  condition 
of  society  that  the  Evening  Bulletin  came  into  existence.  Its  aim  was,  first, 
to  interest  the  people  by  providing  the  fullest  and  most  reliable  news;  and 
when  its  audience  was  thus  secured,  its  second  effort  was  addressed  to  the 
task  or  arousing  public  indignation  against  the  vicious  classes,  and  to  concen- 
trate a  sound  sentiment  for  aggressive  warfare  upon  them.  It  not  only  ex- 
posed the  criminal  acts  which  were  sapping  the  foundations  of  society,  but 
boldly  named  the  men  who  perpetrated  or  were  responsible  for  them.  From 
its  first  hour  it  was  a  success,  morally  and  financially.  The  masses  rallied  to 
the  support  of  its  utterance  of  truths  which  were  already  in  the  heads  and 
hearts  of  all  good  citizens,  and  which  now  found  voice  and  expression  through 
a  fearless  and  independent  journal.  Its  founder  lost  his  life  at  the  hands  of  one 
whose  iniquities  it  had  exposed.  Then  the  people  arose  en  masse,  in  the  vigil- 
ance  committee  of  1856,  visited  swift  and  sure  justice  upon  assassins,  drove 
ballot-box  stuffers,  corrupt  officials  and  criminals  of  every  grade  beyond  the 
borders  of  the  State,  and  initiated  the  reform  movement  which  has  freed  San 
Francisco  from  debt  and  kept  it  free,  and  which  has  given  it,  ever  since,  the 
best  average  municipal  government  to  be  found  upon  the  continent. 

The  Bulletin's  existence  has  been  somewhat  stormy.  It  is  ever  the  foe  of 
jobbers  against  public  interest,  and  of  corporations  and  monopolies  when  they 
abuse  their  power  to  oppress  the  people.  Necessarily  it  has  challenged  the  ill 
will  of  the  selfish  and  corrupt ;  but  it  has  constantly  won  the  approval  of  all 
who  set  the  true  interests  of  the  masses  above  the  gi-eed  of  the  few.  Sometimes 
it  has,  for  a  few  days,  been  thought  to  be  in  error,  when  it  pointed  out  some  pub- 
lic wrong  and  persistently  warned  the  people  against  its  consummation.  But  in- 
variably the  result  has  vindicated  its  wise  foresight,  and  the  cavils  ol  doubters 
have  been  turned  into  paeons  of  praise.  Subsidized  journals  have  been  started, 
time  and  again,  to  draw  off  its  business,  limit  its  power  and  cripple  its  influence ; 
but  the  people,  to  whom  it  was  ever  faithful,  have  adhered  to  it  with  as  singular 
fidelity,  and  "  the  gates  of  hell "  have  not  prevailed  against  it.  A  memoiublc 
instance  of  its  faithfulness  against  powerful  and  threatening  influences,  and  of 
the  defeat  of  those  who,  whether  ignorantly  or  maliciously,  sought  its  destruc- 
tion, is  fresh  in  the  memory  of  all.  During  the  autumn  of  last  year  it  persist 
ently  opposed  a  job,  secretly  engineered  by  the  then  President  of  the  Bank  of 
California,  to  saddle  the  city  of  San  Francisco  with  a  debt  of  many  milions, 
ostensibly  for  the  purchase  of  city  water  works,  but  really  in  order  that  the  bank 
President  might  reap  for  himself  over  $3,000,000  of  profit,  out  of  more  than 
double  that  sum  which  was  to  be  taken  from  the  city  in  excess  of  the  true  value 
of  the  property  to  be  sold.    To  this  end  he  had  corrupted  and  controlled  political 


238  THE  GREAT  JfEWSPAPBRS 

conventions  and  demoralized  political  parties  to  an  alarming  degree.  Day  by 
day  he  denied  the  facts,  and  vicious  journalists  were  subsidized  to  lavish  false- 
hood and  abuse  upon  the  Bulletin's  conductors,  in  the  hope  of  silencing  its 
batteries  or  impairing  their  effectiveness.  Just  then  the  Bank  of  California  sus- 
pended, and,  simultaneously,  its  president  met  his  tragic  end.  The  panic  and 
wild  confusion  which  followed  were  terrible  and  severe.  For  a  brief  time  a 
part  of  the  public  was  made  to  believe  that  the  Bulletin  had  done  injustice  to 
the  bank  President,  and  had  precipitated  or  created  the  evils  associated  with  his 
failure  and  death.  But  soon  the  truth  came  out;  his  leading  connection  with 
the  water  job  stood  confessed;  his  responsibility  for  squandered  millions  and 
his  betrayal  of  his  old  and  best  friends  and  most  sacred  trusts  were  all  revealed. 
Then  the  Bulletin  was  vindicated  once  moi-e,  and  its  influence,  circulation, 
power  and  patronage  became  greater  than  ever  before. 

The  Bulletin  is  in  all  respects  a  first-class  journal.  Nothing  is  admitted  to 
its  editorial,  news  or  advertising  columns  that  can  offend  the  most  fastidious 
sentiment  or  taste.  Thus  it  is  essentially  a  family  paper.  Its  financial  articles 
and  market  reports  are  carefully  prepared,  and  kept  scrupulously  free  from  all 
speculative  influence.  For  these  reasons  it  is  found  in  every  banking  institution 
and  all  first-class  mercantile  establishments.  It  presents  a  rare  instance  in 
which  an  evening  journal  is  recognized  as  the  financial  authority  in  a 
great  mart  of  commerce  and  trade.  Independent  in  all  things,  but  neutral  in 
nothing,  its  opinions  upon  public  topics  are  as  freely  and  explicitly  declared 
as  they  are  carefully  considered  and  adopted.  Thus  its  influence  upon  public 
affairs  is  deep  and  strong;  and  seldom  has  an  unfaithful  public  servant  been 
able  to  stand  up  under  its  criticism^  or  has  any  unjust  measure  survived  its 
earnest  assault.  There  are  few  journals  in  the  country  which  can  present  such 
a  record;  but  it  is  one  which  every  well-informed  and  truthful  Californian  will 
accord  it  without  hesitation. 

As  a  literary  journal  it  has  no  superior  on  tne  Pacific,  and  its  very  large 
weekly  as  well  as  daily  circulation  supplies  the  reading  community  with  a  great 
variety  of  miscellaneous  matter,  embracing  the  whole  field  of  public  affairs, 
current  events  tliroughout  the  world,  agriculture,  manufactures,  practical 
philosophy  as  applied  to  popular  wants,  and  whatever  else  it  is  the  office  of  good 
journalism  to  supply.  A  glance  at  its  columns  will  attest  the  high  estimation  in 
which  it  is  held  by  advertisers  who  desire  t  o  reach  the  intelligent  and  cultivated 
classes;  it  attests  also  the  fact  that  the  Bulletin  affords  its  proprietors  an 
adequate  reward  for  the  intelligence,  energy  and  enterprise  which  mark  its 
conduct  in  every  department.  The  Bulletin  Company  consists  of  Messrs. 
LORiNG  Pickering  and  George  K.  Fitch,  who  have  been  prominent  in  Cali- 
fornia journalism  fi'om  its  earliest  date,  and  J.  W.  Simonton,  long  known  in 
connection  with  the  New  York  Daily  Times,  and  during  the  last  ten  years  as 
o-eneral  agent  and  executive  officer  of  the  Associated  Press. 


THE   MORNING   CALL,"  SAN  FRANCISCO. 

A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OP  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEM^SPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


This  journal  was  establislied  in  1856.  It  was  then  little  larger  than  a  letter 
sheet,  hut  was  eagerly  sought  hy  the  multitude  who  could  not  afford  to  buy  other 
newspapers  at  the  high  prices  then  general  in  the  Golden  State.  Gradually  its 
dimensions  increased  with  its  growing  prosperity,  until  in  1869,  when  it  came 
into  the  hantls  of  its  present  proprietors,  with  a  daily  circulation  of  about 
11.000  copies.  At  this  time  it  was  aboirt  the  present  size  of  the  New  York  Sun, 
The  new  proprietors  put  into  the  concei*n  abundant  capital,  and,  what  was  of 
more  importance,  the  experience  of  a  lifetime  employed  in  successful  jour- 
7ialism.  Having  procured  an  eight-cylinder  Hoe  Lightning  Press  and  other 
machinery  for  its  use,  its  dimensions  were  again  increased,  until  it  became  the 
largest  paper  in  America  published  at  its  price,  or  in  the  world,  with  the  pos- 
sible exception  of  the  London  Telegraph.  The  subscription  rate  is  12^  cents 
weekly,  per  six  issues,  or  15  cents  including  the  Sunday  edition.  Now,  the 
pressure  upon  its  advertising  columns  compels  the  printing  of  a  full-sized 
double  sheet  on  Sundays  and  a  half  sheet  supplement  twice  per  week. 

The  circulation  of  the  Morning  Call  is  most  remarkable  when  we  consider 
that  the  population  of  the  entire  State,  excluding  100,000  Chinese,  does  not  exceed 
7oO,000,  and  that  250,000  is  a  liberal  estimate  for  San  Francisco  itself.  For  more 
than  two  j'^earsthe  Call's  circulation  has  exceeded  an  average  of  30,000  daily.  At 
this  time  it  is  above  33.500  per  day,  and  still  rising.  When  one  reflects  that  this  is 
equal  to  one  copy  for  every  seven  and  a  half  men,  women,  and  childi-en  in  the 
city,  it  will  be  seen  to  be  a  marvellous  evidence  of  success.  A  similar  per 
centage  to  the  1,500,000  population  (a  low  estimate)  of  New  York  and  its  imme- 
diate suburbs,  would  give  the  journal  enjoying  it  a  circulation  of  more  than 
200,000  copies  daily.  That  there  is  no  exaggeration  iw  the  Call's  claim  on  this 
score  is  readily  established,  because  its  proprietors  freely  admit  to  their  press- 
room any  respectable  party,  at  any  time,  to  inspect  its  work  and  satisfy  himself. 
Its  i-egular  shipment  from  New  York  City  of  2,600  reams  of  printing  paper  per 
month,  for  use  of  the  Call,  will  also  attest  itsiwonderful  circulation  to  parties  at 
the  East  who,  naturally  enough,  can  scarcely  understand  the  possibility  of  such 
a  patronage. 

It  follows  that  the  Morning  C  allIs  in  the  hands  of  all  classes.  No  matter  what 
other  newspaper  he  takes,  the  intelligent  reader  adds  the  Call.  The  poor,  the 
rich,  the  merchant,  banker,  farmei",  trader,  mechanic,  artisan — all,  fi'om  the 
highest  to  the  humblest,  buy  and  read  it.  Advertisers  crowd  to  it,  because  they 
have  learned  that  no  other  journal  can  give  such  wide  publicity  to  their  wants 
or  wares.  The  journal  is  pre-eminently  a  newspapei'.  Entirely  independent  in 
politics,  while  it  gives  all  parties  fair  and  equal  representation,  it  avoids 
pai'tisan  discussion  of  any  question  in  such  manner  as  to  offend  honest  differ- 
ences of  opinion  among  honest  men.  But,  like  the  Evening  Bulletin,  it  has  a  heavy 
hand  for  rogues,  and  is  swift  to  expose  and  oppose  public  abuses  or  wrongs,  no 
matter  how  powerful  the  influences  or  combinations  by  which  they  are 
attempted.  To  this  steady  support  of  the  best  interests  of  poor  and  rich 
alike  is  to  be  attributed  much  of  the  Call's  success. 


"THE  BEE,"  OMAHA,  NEB, 


A  SKETCH    FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Bee,  a  Republican  journal  published  at  Omaha  City,  Nebraska,  is  one  of 
a  few  newspapers  in  the  West  that  has  attained  prominence  in  American 
Joumalism. 

It  was  first  launched  into  existence  by  its  present  proprietor,  Mr.  Edward 
Rosewater,  in  June,  1871.  Though  bitterly  opposed  at  the  outset  by  the  then 
established  Omaha  journals,  both  Republican  and  Democratic,  through  fear  of 
competition  and  jealousy,  its  fearless  and  honest  course,  coupled  with  the  varied 
and  spicy  character  of  its  news  matter,  gained  for  it  the  approbation  of  the 
general  public,  and  made  it  a  popular  journal  among  the  masses.  Its  circulation 
has  from  its  incipiency  had  a  steady  growth,  both  at  home  and  abroad.  Recog- 
nizing the  want  of  a  Western  journal  in  the  Western  countiy,  and  the  facilities 
which  Omaha  as  a  i-ailway  center  affords  for  news  gathering,  its  founder  and 
present  publisher  has  made  it  his  aim  to  study  Western  interests  and  develop 
the  agricultural  and  mineral  resources  of  the  West  by  bringing  them  forcibly 
before  the  public.  In  this  endeavor  every  etfort  to  gather  and  place  before  the 
public  in  an  interesting  form  items  of  passing  events  and  facts  bearing  upon  the 
undeveloped  resources  of  the  West  has  been  made.  The  price  of  the  Daily  Bee 
has  been  fixed  at  $8  per  annum,  and  the  Weekly  at  $2,  rates  which  from  their 
reasonable  nature  have  made  the  Bee  of  easy  access  to  all. 

The  Bee  is  the  first  newspaper  in  the  Trans-Missouri  country  that  has  issued 
regularly  a  series  of  illustrated  editions  setting  forth  in  a  verj--  striking  form  the 
events  and  improvements  of  each  year.  It  is  the  only  journal  in  the  West  that 
maintains  a  regular  corps  of  travelling  and  local  correspondents. 

Its  CIRCULATION,  owing  to  this  wide  scope  of  its  news,  has  become  general, 
extending  through  nearly  every  town  for  eleven  hundred  miles  west  of  Omaha. 
The  Daily  Bee  is  now  a  36-column  journal,  and  is  the  only  daily  west  of  the 
Mississippi  that  issues  two  editions  daily,  one  in  the  evening  and  one  in  the 
morning.  The  morning  issue  is  expressly  prepared  for  its  Western  readers,  to 
supply  them  with  news  almost  up  to  the  hour  of  the  departure  of  the  mails. 
Although  over  one  thousand  miles  away,  the  Daily  Bee  has  a  very  extensive 
circulation  in  Salt  Lake  City  and  other  Utah  towns.  In  Wyoming,  a  territory 
only  developed  in  the  past  few  years,  the  Daily  Bee  circulates  over  400  copies. 
In  Omaha  City  its  daily  circulation  is  nearly  2,000.  It  is  delivered  to  the  city 
subscribers  by  eleven  carrier  boys,  six  of  whom  are  mounted  on  horseback. 

THE  WEEKLY  BEE. 

In  the  past  two  years  the  demand  for  the  Weekly  Bee  has  become  so  great 
that  it  has  been  deemed  advisable  to  enlarge  it  to  an  eight-page,  56-column 
journal.  This  enables  the  publisher  to  furnish  its  readers  with  a  large  portion 
of  the  varied  and  interesting  correspondence  which  appears  in  the  daily  during 
the  week.  Its  circulation  extends  through  Western  Iowa,  Nebraska,  Dakota, 
Wyoming,  Utah,  and  the  other  Territories,  and  is  rapidly  increasing. 

EDITORIAL  DEPARTMENT. 

This  is  presided  over  by  Mr.  Edward  Rosewater,  who  is  also  the  publisher. 
His  literary  acquirements  and  terseness  have  made  him  well  known  through- 
out the  West.  Mr.  Rosewater  speaks  four  languages  with  fluency.  On  the 
occasion  of  Rochefort's  tour  through  the  United  States,  after  his  romantic 
escape  from  imprisonment,  Mr.  Rosewater  secured  the  first  successful  interview 
with  that  individual,  and  received  creditable  notices  for  this  efl'ort  by  the 
Chicago  and  New  York  metropolitan  journals.    The  local  news  department  is 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS  241 

managed  by  the  city  editor,  Mr.  Alfred  Sorcnsen,  a  former  student  of  Harvard 
College,  who  is  a  practical  printer  as  well  as  a  stenographic  reporter. 

The  Bee  also  keeps  three  regular  travelling  correspondents,  who  visit  every 
section  of  Nebraska  and  the  Territories  each  year.  Aside  from  these,  special 
local  correspondents  are  maintained  by  the  Bee  at  San  Francisco,  Salt  Lake 
City,  Custer  City,  Lincoln,  Neb.,  and  also  a  special  correspondent  at  Philadel- 
pliia  during  the  Centennial. 

THE  BUSINESS  DEPARTMENT. 

This  is  in  charge  of  Andrew  Rosewater,  manager,  and  consists  of  an 
accountant,  mailing  clerk,  superintendent  of  citj'-  circulation,  and  messenger. 
The  number  of  employes  in  the  entire  establishment  are  forty-two.  There  has 
been  an  average  of  three  tons  per  month  of  news  paper  consumed  in  the  past 
year.    Thirt^'-five  newsboys  sell  the  i)aper  daily  upon  the  streets. 

The  enterprise  of  the  Bee  has  been  acknowledged  by  the  Western  press 
generally.  It  lately  issued  a  fincly-illuslrated  supplement,  showing  the  city  of 
Cheyenne  in  detail.  It  now  has  in  hand  a  supplement  of  the  scenerj^  of  the 
Black  Hills  and  mining  districts,  which  will  be  is  ;ued  in  the  early  part  of  May. 


THE  NASHVILLE  (TENN.)  AMERICAN. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


This  paper  and  its  predecessors  in  regular  line  have  existed  for  more  than 
fifty  years  in  this  city.  There  were  the  National  Banner  and  the  Nashville  Re- 
pnhlican.  These  were  united  under  the  name  oi BepubUcan  Banner,  which  itself  had 
an  existence  of  more  than  half  a  century.  Then  there  was  the  Union,  established 
in  1835,  under  the  auspices  of  Jackson  in  his  contest  against  nullification.  After- 
wards, in  1849,  the  Centre  State  American  was  established  ag  a  Democratic  paper, 
which,  in  1850,  was  merged  into  the  Union  under  the  name  of  Union  and  American. 
These  two  papers,  the  Republican  Manner  and  the  Union  and  American,  were  the 
representatives  of  the  party  sentiment  of  Tennessee  during  all  the  exciting 
periods  of  its  political  history— the  former  being  Whig  and  the  latter  Democrat. 
The  great  names  of  Jackson,  White,  Bell,  Polk,  Johnson  and  others  who  have 
impressed  their  names  on  the  country's  history,  have  fought  their  glorious 
battles  of  principle  through  these  columns.  On  the  l.st  of  September,  1875,  the 
Union  and  American  and  the  Reptiblican  Banner  were  consolidated  under  the 
name  of  The  American,  and  its  proprietors  trust  that  in  this  name  it  will  be 
printed  for  all  time  to  come  The  last  fusion  and  change  of  name  was  no  more 
a  matter  of  business  than  a  matter  of  putiiotism.  The  general  unanimity  in 
the  sentiments  of  the  people  of  the  State  suggested  the  change  on  political  and 
patriotic  considerations,  and  the  business  view  conceded  it.  It  now  wields  the 
leading  influence  in  the  State. 

THE  AMERICAN 
Has  now  a  positive  circulation  much  greater  than  that  claimed  by  any  news- 
paper published  in  the  States  of  the  South,  except  Kentuckj-,  Missouri  and 
Louisiana.  Its  united  editions  exceed  several  which  claim  the  greater  number. 
It  has  a  firm  hold  on  the  confidence  of  the  people,  because  it  has  never  deceived 
them;  and  we  are  gratified  to  say  that  in  spite  of  the  "  hard  times"  its  subscrip- 
tion lists  are  greater  than  those  of  both  its  immediate  predecessors,  and  greater 
than  any  paper  ever  had  in  Tennessee.         Address  The  Americ.vn,  Nashville. 


"THE  SHOE  AND  LEATHER  REPORTER." 


A   SKETCH   FOU  THE    HOOK  OV  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Shoe  and  Leather  Reporter  is  the  oldest  industrial  newspaper  pub- 
lished in  this  country— the  pioneer  of  its  class— leading  the  van  of  the  great 
army  of  "  Trade  papers"  which  register  the  progress  of  nearly  every  branch  of 
business  conducted  in  the  United  States  at  the  present  time. 

The  Reporter  was  founded  in  August.  18.57,  and  made  its  first  appearance  as 
a  semi-monthly.  Its  circulation  and  business  increased,  and  it  was  issued 
weekly  at  the  end  of  the  first  six  months.  It  has  since  been  enlarged,  until  it 
is  now  almost  ten  times  the  size  ot  the  original  sheet. 

To  the  casual  observ^er  there  might  seem,  to  be  little  of  importance  to 
chronicle  in  the  lines  of  shoes  and  leather,  unless  it  might  be  records  of  prices 
or  diy  statistical  figures ;  such,  however,  is  not  the  case.  There  is  no  product  in 
which  the  chemical  change  is  more  Intricate  and  interesting  than  in  that  of  the 
manufacture  of  leather  from  hides  and  skins ;  no  industiy  is  pursued  where 
the  aid  of  a  greater  or  more  varied  amount  of  machinery  is  I'equired  than  in 
the  production  of  boots  and  shoes,  and,  vv^ith  the  single  exception  of  agriculture, 
no  branch  of  business  in  this  country  employs  so  large  a  capital  or  requires 
a  greater  exercise  of  skill.  So  much  for  the  mechanical  part.  As  a  mercantile 
interest  it  stretches  to  every  quarter  of  the  globe.  The  work  of  collecting  and 
disseminating  information  in  every  branch  of  these  great  industries,  and  of 
defining  the  relations  they  bear  to  each  other,  is  immense,  and  the  publisher 
employs  the  best  capacitj"  obtainable  for  a  thorough  and  careful  compilation 
of  the  market  report^,  as  well  as  the  most  intelligent  criticism  of  the  various 
inventions  and  theories  introduced  to  the  trades. 

The  circulation  extends  •  throughout  all  the  States  of  the  Union,  and 
it  has  a  considerable  list  of  subscribers  in  Europe,  and  in  the  East 
and  West  Indies,  South  America,  and  in  fact  every  country  where  hides 
and  skins  are  a  product,  or  shoes  and  leather  a  necessity.  It  is  under 
the  editorial  charge  of  a  gentleman  who  has  pursued  from  boyhood  the 
business  of  making  and  dealing  in  leather,  and  has  an  extensive  acquaint- 
ance with  men  engaged  in  all  the  various  branches  of  the  trade  at  home  and 
abroad.  Experience  and  knowledge  combine  to  qualify  him  to  represent  the 
views  and  express  the  sentiments  of  his  co-laborers  in  the  great  industry  to 
which  the  paper  is  exclusively  devoted.  He  is  supported  by  able  assistants  in 
the  three  cities;  by  capable  coiTesposdents in  the  West,  the  South  and  the  chief 
foreign  marts .  Mr.  Jackson  S.  Schultz,  who  is  thoroughly  well  versed  in  the  prac- 
tice and  theoiy  of  the  tanning  trade,  is  a  regular  contributor  to  its  columns. 
He  is  at  present  engaged  upon  a  serial  work,  defining  and  illustrating  all  the 
details  and  mechanical  processes  ot  the  art  of  tanning,  the  initialichapter  of  which 
was  published  in  the  first  issue  of  the  current  year. 

A  supplementary  pattern  sheet  is  published  quartei'ly,  containing  the  latest 
styles  of  boots  and  shoes,  giving  exact  directions  for  reproducing  the  various 
styles.  It  is  artistic  in  execution,  and  is  a  prominent  feature  of  the  paper, 
being  looked  for  and  preserved. 

The  compilation  of  the  statistics  of  the  trade  necessitates  an  amount  of 
care  and  labor  which  can  only  be  appreciated  by  those  who  have  occasion  to 
refer  to  the  semi-annual  tables;  they  are  accepted  by  the  trade  as  a  valuable 
aid  in  their  transactions. 

The  Shoe  a:,d  Leather  Reporter  is  published  simultaneously  in  New 
York,  Boston  and  Philadelphia  by  Isaac  H.  Bailey.  The  svibscription  price  is 
$3.50  a  year.  The  New  York  office  is  at  17  Spruce  street,  the  Boston  office  at 
lUHighstreet,  and  the  Philadelphia  office  at  149  South  Fourth  street. 


THE  "ILLINOIS  STAATS  ZEITUNG." 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER   EXHIBITION. 


Of  those  German  newspapers  published  in  the  United  States,  which  have  for 
a  number  of  years  exerted  a  positive  and  decisive  influence  upon  public  opin. 
ion,  there  is,  in  the  great  Northwest,  none  that  could  claim  to  excel  or  even  to 
equal  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  of  Chicago.  The  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung, 
established  at  a  time  when  the  great  metropolis  of  the  Lake  region  was  a  town 
of  barely  20,000  inhabitants,  has  grown,  botli  in  its  value  as  a  newspaper  and  in 
the  influence  wielded  by  it  upon  many  thousands  of  readers,  in  proportion  with 
the  wonderful  development  of  its  place  of  publication.  It  is,  and  has  been  for 
almost  half  a  generation,  a  recognized  political  power,  perhaps  so  to  a  greater 
extent  than  any  other  German  daily  paper  in  the  country.  In  this  respect  not 
only  does  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  fully  rank  with  its  Chicago  contempo- 


raries published 
in  the  English 
language,  but  it 
has  on  several 
occasions  suc- 
cessfully defied 
and  actually  de- 
feated in  some 
ot  the  hottest 
political  c  o  n  - 
tests  a  combina- 
tion of  the  en- 
tire English 
press  of  Chica- 
go, without  any 
exception.  In 
Germany  it  is 
probably  better 
known  and 
more  widely 
quoted  than  any 
other  German- 
American  daily

New  York  name- 
sake.

There  must  be 
good  reasons  for 
such  success 
other  than  mere 
good  luck  or  the 
impoi'tance  of 
the  city  where 
the  Zeitung  is 
issued.  Such 
reasons  may  be 
found  in  the  in- 
tense positive- 
ness  of  mind, 
the  perfect  in- 
dependence ot 
opinion,  and  the 
trenchant  keen- 
ness of  judg- 
ment displayed 
in  the  discussion 
of  all  questions

umns of  the  Il-

also  in  the  completeness,  variety,  and  freshness  of  its  news;  in  its  careful  selec- 
tion of  the  gist  of  foreign  newspapers;  and  in  the  excellence  of  its  corres- 
pondence. The  remark  has  frequently  been  made  by  German- Americans,  tem- 
porarily residing  in  their  native  country,  that  they  found  a  gi'eater  amount 
of  intei-esting  and  important  news  from  Germany  in  the  columns  of  the 
Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  than  in  the  great  papers  easily  accessible  to  them  in 
Germany  itself.  The  comments  of  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  upon  the  public 
affairs  of  Germany  have  often,  on  account  of  their  thoroughly  American 
independence  of  thought  and  directness  of  expression,  been  quoted,  and  been 
either  highly  commended  or  angrily  discussed  by  leading  newspapers  of  Ger- 
many. As  an  evidence  of  the  position  generallj'  accorded  to  the  Illinois 
Staats  Zeitung  abroad,  the  fact  may  be  mentioned  here,  that,  beside  Mr. 
Smalley  of  the  N.  Y.  Tribune,  the  chief  editor  of  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  is 
the  onlj'  American  editor  to  whom  the  Chancellor  of  the  German  Empire,  Prince 
Bismarck,  has  accorded  an  extended  interview,  the  record  of  which  Avas,  at  the

time,  translated  and  copied  from  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  into  many  hun- 
dreds of  newspapers  in  this  country,  in  England,  Germany,  and  even  in  France. 

In  the  quality  of  its  reading  matter  the  Illixois  Staats  Zeitdxg  is  the  sec- 
ond German-American  newspaper,  ranking  immediately  next  to  its  New  York 
namesake.  Its  circulation  is  the  largest  of  all  German  dailies,  excepting  only  the 
New  York  Staats  Zeitung  a.nc},  perhaps,  one  daily  published  in  the  West.  Its 
weekly  issue  is  widely  circulated  all  over  the  Northwestern  States,  and  iniis 
efficiency  as  an  advertising  medium  is  superior  to  almost  any  other  weekly- 
publication  in  the  Northwest. 

When,  in  October,  1871,  the  city  of  Chicago  seemed  to  be  wiped  out  from  the 
iace  of  the  earth  by  the  great  fire,  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  was  a  greater 
sufferer  than  any  other  paper  published  in  Chicago,  for  this  reason:  that  not 
only  its  entire  establishment  (including  files  and  safes  with  books)  was  utterly 
destroyed,  but  all  its  editors,  reportors,  clerks,  compositors,  pressmen,  with  the 
exception  of  barely  half  a  dozen  were  •"burned  out'"  of  their  homes  and  per- 
sonal property.  It  took  two  or  three  daj's  to  gather  up  a  mere  handful  of  the 
employees  of  the  paper  and  to  provide  a  temporarj'  abode.  Then  there  arose 
the  further  difficulty  that,  while  English  tj^pe  could  be  had  in  abundance  within 
call,  it  took  weeks  to  procure  the  required  quantity  of  German  type.  In  fact,  the 
struggle  against  the  effects  of  that  terrible  calamity  to  many  would  have 
appeared  utterly  hopeless.  And  yet,  after  having  been  printed  in  Milwaukee 
for  a  few  weeks,  twenty  days  after  the  great  fire  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitdng 
was  issued  again  in  its  old  size  from  its  own  press,  and  fiftj'  daj'S  after  the  fire 
it  enlarged  its  size  and  the  amount  of  reading  matter  by  one-sixth  over  what  it 
had  been  before  the  fire.  The  hackneyed  metaphor  ot  the  Phcenix  rising  from 
its  ashes  would  not  seem  out  of  place  in  this  connection. 

In  rebuilding  Chicago  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitcng  would  not  be  found  be- 
hindhand. A  site  for  a  permanent  home  was  selected  vrithin  one  square  from  the 
heart  of  the  business  center  of  tlie  city,  the  Board  of  Trade  building,  the  new 
Court  House,  the  W.  U.  Telegraph,  and  Military  Headquarters  building.  Fronting 
Washington  street  (10  feet)  and  extending  110  feet  on  Fifth  avenue,  the  Illinois 
Staats  Zeitung  block  covers  an  area  of  4,400  square  feet.  Its  height  from  the 
floor  of  the  basement  to  the  roof  is  100  feet,  making  it  the  tallest  building  but  one 
within  five  squares  in  each  direction.  The  architecture  is  of  that  chaste  and 
massive  style  of  modern  renaissance  to  which  the  new  portions  of  the  great 
cities  of  Europe  owe  their  proudly  dignified,  monumental  aspect.  The  orna- 
mentation is  in  excellent  taste  and  superior  to  that  of  any  other  public  or 
private  building  in  Chicago.  For,  while  the  statues  of  Franklin  and  Gutenberg, 
raised  over  the  porticoes  of  the  two  main  entrances,  happily  denote  the  char- 
acter and  purposes  of  the  building,  the  top  of  the  house  is  beautifully  and 
appropriately  ornamented  by  five  life-size  statues,  representing  Science,  Indus- 
trj--,  Agriculture,  Commerce,  and  Justice.  These  were  cast  in  Paris,  while  a  very 
characteristic  and  expressive  center  piece,  representing  the  reclining  figures  of 
Columbia  and  Germania,  is  the  conception  of  a  French  artist  who  has  made 
Chicago  his  home. 

The  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung  enjoys  a  prosperity  which  it  may  justly  be 
proud  of,  since  it  maj^  see  in  it  a  hearty  recognition  bj^  the  people  of  its  unceasing 
efforts,  not  only  to  satisfy,  but  to  anticipate  the  wants  of  its  readers.  Its  circu- 
lation since  the  great  fire  has  so  increased,  that  in  order  to  issue  its  large  edi- 
tion in  proper  time  for  early  distribution,  it  has  to  stereotj-pe  its  forms  and 
print  them  from  a  Bullock  press  capable  of  turning  off  14,000  copies  in  an  hour. 

Standing  upon  the  firm  foundation  of  established  success,  shaken  as  little  by 
the  financial  crisis  of  1S73  as  by  the  great  fire  of  1871,  the  Illinois  Staats  Zeitung 
may,  without  fear  of  being  charged  with  self-conceit,  lay  just  claim  to  the  des- 
ignation as  one  of  the  representative  newspapers  of  this  country.

A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  liOOK  OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


It  has  been  pronouncecl  that  *'  The  progress  of  a  country  is  best  indicated  bt/ 
the  groioth  of  its  newspapers ; "  and  the  present  position  of  the  Westliche  Post 
—foremost  in  rank  among  the  daily  journals  of  the  Western  States  of  America— 
clearly  proves  this  assertion. 

The  career  of  this  paper  during  the  compai-atively  few  years  of  its  history, 
marks  the  success  which  hardly  ever  fails  when  industiy,  perseverance  and 
able  and  faithful  management  are  united  in  conducting  a  newspaper  in  this  coun- 
try. The  Westliche  Post  has  fairly  kept  even  step  with  the  development  of  the 
West,  and  in  clear  and  cloudy  days  foremost  stood  up  for  general  progress  at 


home  and  abroad 
and  for  the  inter- 
est of  the  German 
element,  w  h  i  c  h 
for  ever  has  repre- 
sented this  posi- 
tion in  the  history 
of  the  United 
States. 

Established  Sep- 
tember 27,  1857,  it 
was  then  a  small 
paper  of  little  in- 
fluence and  of 
small  cix'culation, 
while  it  now 
ranks  among  the 
leading  journals 
of  this  country, 
with  an  average

more  than  fifteen

The  Sundav  edition  is  ac- 


day  having  nine  columns,  and  those  ot  the  weekly  ten 
companied  by  an  eight-page  supplement,  the  Mississippi  Blaetter.  The  West- 
liche Post  circulates  in  every  State  and  Territory  of  the  great  West  and  South, 
from  Ohio  to  the  Pacific  shore,  and  from  the  far  Northwest  to  the  Gulf.  It  has  a 
larger  circulation  than  any  other  German  dailj"-  paper  published  west  of  New 
York,  and  as  air  advertising  medium  is  surpassed  by  none. 

It  is  incorporated  according  to  the  laws  of  the  State  of  IVCissouri.  Arthur 
Olshausen,  Esq.,  is  the  president,  Messrs.  E.  Preetorius  and  Carl  Schurz  are  the 
editors,  and  Gustavus  A.  Olshausen,  Esq.,  is  the  treasurer  and  secretar.y.  It  is 
not  strange  that  with  the  co-operation  in  its  management  of  gentlemen  possess- 
ing the  exceptional  ability  of  Mr.  Carl  Schurz,  it  should  have  acquired  its  great 
moral  influence,  as  well  as  its  commercial  value,  in  respect  to  the  German  pop- 
ulation of  the  West.  Its  always-crowded  advertising  columns  show  peculiarly 
that  its  excellence  is  acknowledged  and  realized  by  the  public  in  general,  and 
not  only  by  a  fragmentary  class  or  nationality.    Its  serried  advertisements  re-

mind  a  person  of  every  branch  of  commerce,  finance,  and  trade,  of  things 
domestic  and  foreign,  and  in  short,  of  every  department  of  human  life.  The 
names  of  its  local  advertisers  do  not  merely  consist  of  those  betokening  a  Ger- 
manic origin,  but  savor  of  nativities  quite  distant  from  the  Rhine.  This  would 
of  itself  be  very  favorable  evidence.  ]\Ien  of  moderate  or  ordinary  trade  or 
business  are  not  apt  to  resort  to  publications  in  foieign  laixguages  for  the  adver- 
tising of  that  which  they  have,  unless  they  are  imbued  with  a  decided  belief  in 
the  standing  and  merits  as  an  advertising  medium,  if  not  as  a  general  newspa- 
per, of  a  publication  of  this  character  selected  by  them.  No  one  can  deny  that 
tht!  Westliche  Post  possesses  this  standing  and  these  merits  to  an  unusual  de- 
gree, both  as  a  general  newspaper  and  as  an  advertising  medium.  It  has  no 
superior  in  the  West,  and  perhaps  not  elswhere,  in  regard  to  celerity  and  enter 
prise  in  laying  before  its  readers  that  which  is  "news"  in  the  strictest  sense. 
Everything  not  out  of  place  in  a  daily  newspaper  appears  in  its  diurnal  editions, 
while  its  Sunday  issues  are  models  of  well-chosen  literature.  The  weekly  is  a 
judicious  and  succinct  history  of  the  occurences  of  each  week.  The  circulation 
which  the  Westliche  Post  enjoys  represents  a  far  greater  influence  than  an 
equal  circulation  of  an  English  paper.  In  the  large  and  ordinarily  prosperous 
American  cities,  it  is  not  at  all  unusual  for  an  individual  to  daily  pass  through 
the  labor  or  diversion— in  which  ever  way  he  may  regard  it — of  perusing  two  or 
three,  and  sometimes  even  four  or  five,  of  the  newspapers  that  circulate  in  his 
locality.  He  reads  them  all  with  equal  attention  or  inattention,  as  his  humor 
may  lead  him,  and  seldom  allows  either  one  of  them  to  have  the  special  honor 
of  arousing  his  most  profound  reflections.  A.  great  number  of  the  American 
people,  indeed,  appear  to  regard  their  newspapers  as  something  which  it  is  their 
duty  to  criticise  and  to  pick  fault  with  if  they  can.  They  are  capable  of  finding 
considerable  amusement  in  seeking  to  invent  transitory  theories  which  shall  be 
iitterly  at  variance  with  those  advocated  by  the  newspaper  they  may  happen  to 
read,  and  are  seldom  so  complacent  as  when  some  opinion  which  they  have 
expressed  proves  to  be  more  correct  than  that  of  the  newspaper.  Among  the 
Germans,  however,  the  case  is  difi"erent.  They  look  up  to  respectable  newspa- 
pers as  a  species  of  paternal  guides  and  instructors,  and  the  feeling  with  which 
they  regard  the  most  worthy  of  German  publications  can  hardly  be  appreciated 
by  a  critical,  fault-finding,  captious  American  mind.  Though  a  German  may 
not  be  reluctant  to  express  his  disapprobation  of  the  course  of  a  particular 
paper,  he  never  does  it  with  the  same  invectives  and  fierceness  so  frequent  in 
America.  The  influence  of  German  newspapers,  indeed,  is  comparatively  ex- 
treme; and  the  influence  of  the  Westliche  Post,  with  its  great  circulation, 
may  be  conceived.  That  it  tvorthily  possesses  and  wields  this  influence  is  very 
plain.  It  is  a  paper  in  which  the  German  populace  of  the  Western  States  are 
not  and  need  not  be  ashamed  to  trust,  and  is  the  best  existing  fulfilment  ot 
tneir  ideal  of  a  newspaper.  In  every  respect,  the  Westliche  Post  of  St.  Louis 
may  be  pointed  out  as  a  proper  representative  of  the  Germans  in  our  country 
—an  element  which  bravely  sustains  the  claim  of  industry  and  practical  pro- 
gress, and  has  given  Americans  the  lea«jt  reason  to  regret  that  America  is  cos- 
mopolitan. 


THE  MIRROR,  MANCHESTER,  N.  H. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OV  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER   EXHIIJITION. 


The  Manchester  Daily  Mirror  was  founded  in  1850,  and  the  Weekly  Mirror 
in  1S51,  by  Joseph  C.  Emerson.  In  October,  1852,  both  papers  were  purchased  by 
John  B  Chirk,  who  has  owned,  edited,  and  published  them  ever  since.  As  the 
Mirror  grew  in  strengtli  and  influence,  its  owner  purchased  and  liis  establisli- 
nient  absorbed  tlie  Daily  American,  tlie  Weekly  American,  and  tlie  Neio  Hampsliire 
Journal  of  Agriculture,  all  of  whicli  are  now  comprised  and  published  under  the 
Mirror  headings.  The  Mirror  and  American  and  the  Weekly  Mirror  and 
Farmer  arc  the  most  successful  journals  in  New  Hampshire.  From  the  start 
money  has  been  spent  upon  them  with  a  freie  hand  in  every  department,  which, 
with  liberal  dealings  with  friends  and  patrons,  has  put  them  far  in  advance  of 
all  rivals,  and  given  them  a  circulation,  influence,  and  advertising  patronage 
which  no  other  ev^en  claims. 

Manchester,  New  Hampshire,  is  the  fi!ty-flfth  city  in  population  in  the 
United  States,  according  to  the  last  census— larger  than  any  two  other  cities  in 
New  Hampshire.  It  is  flfty-two  miles  from  Boston,  and  is  devoted  to  manu- 
facturing. Its  corporations  employ  nine  thousand  persons,  and  liave  a  montlily 
pay-roll  of  three  hundred  and  eleven  thousand  dollars.  They  use  every 
year  twenty-six  thousand  and  one  hundred  tons  of  coal,  eight  thousand  cords  of 
wood,  and  about  thirty  million  feet  of  gas.  The  mills  have  about  three  hundred 
thousand  spindles,  and  make  one  hundred  and  forty -three  miles  of  cloth  a  day.  The 
Mancl>ester  Locomotive  Works  can  turn  out  fourteen  locomotives  a  month,  and 
the  Amoskeag  Manufacturing  Company  fifty  steam  firt -engines  a  year. 

To  make  a  paper  Avorthy  of  such  a  city,  and  one -which  should  find  its  way 
into  nearly  every  familj-,  and  be  authorized  to  speak  for  and  to  tlie  substantial 
and  intelligant  citizens  has  been  the  aim  of  the  publisher  of  the  Mirror,  and 
that  he  has  succeeded  the  subscription  books  and  daily  sales  of  the  paper  fully 
prove.  The  Daily  Mirror  and  American  is  an  evening  paper,  issuing  three 
editions  each  afternoon,  and  has  a  larger  circulation  than  any  other  two  dailies 
in  tlie  State. 

The  Weekly  Mirror  and  Farmer  is  an  eight-nago  sheot,  of  forty-eight 
columns,  and  is  a  general  nev/s  and  agricultural  paper.  Its  first  and  second 
pages  are  devoted  to  farming  interests,  and  are  filled  with  live  and  readable 
matter,  which  gives  it  a  welcome,  and  makes  it  authority  in  a  large  proportion 
of  the  farm-houses  of  New  Hampshire  and  Vermont. 

The  other  six  pages  are  devoted  to  news,  editorials,  selections,  and  adver- 
tisements, so  written  and  arranged  as  to  give  timely  and  bold  expression  to  the 
convictions  and  opinions  of  honest  people,  and  to  present  a  complete  and  i*e- 
liable  record  of  the  world's  work,  wisdom,  ^vorry,  and  wickedness  during  each 
week. 

The  paper  owns  no  man  as  master,  and  is  the  slave  of  no  sect  or  party.  It 
speaks  for  its  readers  openly,  freelj',  and  without  fear  or  favor.  Its  system  of 
news  gathering  is  nearly  complete,  and  in  the  department  of  State  news  par- 
ticularly, its  numerous  correspondents  and  reporters,  and  a  free  use  of  the 
telegraph  enable  it  to  keep  far  in  advance  of  its  rivals.  These  features  have 
introduced  the  Mirror,  and  make  it  a  household  word  among  all  who  ax-e 
interested  in  New  Hampshire  news  and  have  a  liking  for  an  independent  and 
outspoken  organ  of  public  opinion. 

It  reaches,  in  large  clubs,  nearly  every  town  in  the  Stale,  and  many  in 
Vermont  and  Maine,  and  has  not  only  an  aggi'Cgate  circulation  larger  than  any

other  paper  in  the  State,  but  larger  than  any  other  one  of  its  class  published  in 
New  England,  out  of  Boston.  Its  circulation  is  a  natural  and  healthy  one.  It 
employs  no  agents  to  crowd  it  into  places  where  it  is  not  welcome,  and  is  not 
sent  to  any  man  who  has  not  paid  for  it.  Its  friends  are  such  of  tlieir  own 
volition,  because  it  meets  their  wats  and  approves  itself  to  their  judgment; 
and  they  are  friends  who,  when  once  they  come,  are  sure  to  stay.  The  Mirror 
is  by  far  the  best  advertising  7nedium  to  be  found  in  New  Hampshire.  Its  rates 
are  less  than  three-fourths  ot  a  cent  a  line  for  each  thousand  circulation.

THE  STATE  REGISTER,  DES  MOINES. 


THE    LEADING    PAI'ER    IN    IOWA. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THE  CEXTEN'NIAL  NEWSPAPER    EXHIBITION. 


Iowa,  the  young  giant  of  a  State  which  rose  almost  into  instant  greatness, 
springing  from  an  Indian  hunting  ground  in  1840  into  a  rich  State  of  nearly  a 
million  and  ahalf  of  people  in  1876,  has  found  always  its  most  potential  adjutant 
in  its  press.  The  good  story  sent  out  to  the  world  by  tlie  Iowa  press  of  the  fair 
fortune  there  awaiting  honest  industry,  drew  to  the  fertile  prairies  an  emigra- 
tion of  reading,  cultured,  enterprising  people,  who  naturallj^  became,  in  turn, 
the  stimulating  patrons  of  the  press.  In  keeping  pace  with  the  bounding  ener- 
gies and  wonderfully  rapid  development  of  the  State,  the  press  wasfairlj^  forced 
into  early  prominence,  influence,  and  wealth.  At  the  head  of  the  vigorous 
papers  of  the  vigorous  young  State  has  stood  for  ten  years  the  State  Register, 
published  at  Des  Moines,  the  capital— which  stirring  young  city,  an  Indian 
camping  ground  in  1848,  is  now  a  place  of  20,000  people,  with  all  the  modern 
appointments  of  civilization,  gas,  water  works,  many  and  large  manufactories, 
and  five  railways.  Located  at  the  geographical,  political,  and  business  centre 
of  the  State,  the  Register  enjoys  the  benefit  of  commanding  position  and  supe- 
rior advantages— and,  with  double  the  circulation  of  any  of  its  Iowa  contempor- 
aries, circulates  largely  in  every  county  in  the  State,  and  goes  abroad  in  the 
Union  and  to  other  countries  as  the  representative  Iowa  paper.  It  has  no  com- 
petitor in  Iowa  as  a  newspaper  or  as  an  advertising  medium.  The  daily  edition  is 
a  large  thirty-six  column,  four-page  sheet,  the  largest  paper  and  giving  the 
largest  amount  of  news  and  reading  matter  of  any  paper  in  the  world,  pub- 
lished in  a  city  of  20,000  inhabitants.  The  weekly  edition  is  a  mammoth  forty- 
column  sheet  of  four  pages;  it  sustains,  in  addition  to  its  other  features,  an 
agricultural  department,  edited  hy  C.  F.  Clarkson,  a  practical  farmer,  and.  an 
old-time  editor— who  makes  his  department  an  authority  with  Iowa  farmers, 
and  a  necessity  to  them,  thus  giving'  it  an  immense  circulation  among  that 
especial  class . 

The  Register  is  known  in  newspaper  circles  to  be  the  most  valuable  press 
property  in  the  Northwest,  outside  of  Chicago.  It  occupies  a  home— and  as  its 
own  home— a  fine  brick  building  22x100  feet  in  size,  with  three  stories  besides 
basement,  all  of  which  the  establishment  occupies.  There  is  maintained  with 
the  paper  the  lai-gest  book  and  job  printing  offices  in  the  State,  which  for  years 
have  done  and  are  now  doing  the  State  printing.  The  Register,  its  machinerj', 
and  building  are  estimated  at  a  total  value  of  $1.50,000,  and  that  money  would  not 
buy  them,  cash  down.  The  paper  is  now  printed  on  a  double  cylinder  Hoe 
press,  mafle  expressly  for  it,  but  which  will  soon  have  to  be  superseded  by  one 
of  double  its  capacity.  The  first  aim  of  the  State  Register  is  to  be  a  paper  of 
news,  next  of  politics,  third  of  business,  then  of  literature— always  ot  lite 
and  vivacity.  It  is  conducted  on  the  live  idea  of  never  being  found  dull.  Its 
proprietors— both  young  men,  just  turned  into  the  thirties— are  enthusiasts  in 
their  profession,  and  enamored  of  their  paper.  They  were  both  raised  in  a 
printing  office,  and  their  lives  and  ambition  ai-e  in  their  work.  This  inspiration 
is  the  working  motto  of  their  subordinates,  and  every  editor  and  every  repofvev 
has  as  much  pride  in  the  paper  and  its  success  as  the  proprietors  nave.  The 
paper  has  but  two  owners,  R.  P.  Clarkson,  the  business  manager,  and  J.  S. 
Clarkson,  the  chief  editor.    The  money  they  liave  invested  in  this  now  valuable 


250 


THE  GREAT  XEWSPAPEKS 


property  is  of  their  own  gaining,  earned  by  hard  work  and  sheer  business  tact. 
The  young  proprietors  of  an  old,  fairly-established,  popular,  and  profitable 
paper,  they  will  keep  the  property  permanently  and  improve  it  daily. 

The  pride  of  the  paper  is  in  its  State  and  city.  To  the  upbuilding,  advance- 
ment, and  progress  of  both  it  lends  every  effort  and  every  energy.  In  politics 
the  paper  is  radical  republican.  But  it  has  been  guilty  frequently  of  bolting  bad 
nominations  which  its  party  has  made.  In  all  things  the  IIegisteu,  as  a  constant 
and  long-time  i-eader  of  it  would  judge,  proposes  to  have  the  independence  and 
vigor  of  the  prairie— to  be  always  worth  the  money  paid  for  it  by  anybody— to 
hold  unrivalled  excellence  in  its  own  State  as  a  paper  of  news— to  be  the  best 
possible  advertising  medium  within  the  territory  of  its  circulation— and, 
generally,  to  be  the  best  and  best  paying  paper  of  its  size  and  field  in  the 
couutrv.

The     INDEPENDENT 

Statesman  is  a  large 
eight-page  paper,  Re- 
publican in  politics,  and 
fearless  in  the  advocacy 
of  its  principles.  It 
pleads  earnesly  for  re- 
form, in  its  truest  sense, 
and  for  the  restoration 
of  the  government  to  the 
puritj'  of  the  fathers. 
In  its  own  State  it  occu- 
pies the  foremost  posi- 
tion as  to  all  the  ele- 
ments that  combine  to 
make  a  desirable  coun- 
try newspaper,  and  in 
the  abDity  shown  in  its 
editorial  columns.  Its 
agricultural  and  miscel- 
laneous departments 
are  especiallj'  attract- 
ive, and  its  full  State 
news  makes  it  widely 
sought  for  both  in  and 
out  of  the  State.  In 
short,  its  fine  qualities 
have  steadilj^  advanced 
it  in  the  estimation  of  the  people,  so  that  it  has  reached  a  circulation  (10,000) 
almost  unequalled  for  a  countiy  newspaper.  It  was  es  ablished  in  the  year

THE  NEW  YORK  EVANGELIST. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THK  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  New  York  Evangelist  is  in  the  forty-seventh  year  ot  its  publication. 
Its  career  has  been  a  prominent  one.  It  sprang  at  once  into  conspicuity  as  the 
champion  of  the  I'ising  cause  of  the  slave  and  of  temperance  reform,  and 
especially  as  the  advocate  of  revivals  and  of  a  greater  tolerance  of  new  methods 
of  aggression  on  the  part  of  the  Churches. 

Its  early  years  were  marked  by  great  movements  of  population,  as  well  as 
by  the  earnest  discussion  of  social  and  religious  questions.  The  Erie  Canal  was 
then  a  new  and  gigantic  improvement— the  wonder  and  pride  of  the  whole 
North.  It  was  the  chief  channel  of  our  Vf  estern  trade.  It  bi'ought  wheat  and 
corn  and  furs  to  tide-water,  and  returned  their  equivalent.  It  also  served  as  an 
highway  and  outlet  for  the  enterprising  young  families  of  New  England.  They 
crowded  its  jaunty  packets  and  settled  along  its  borders;  while  many  of  the 
older  residents  of  the  region,  feeling  the  general  impulse  of  our  westward- 
moving  empire,  covered  their  stout  wagons  with  canvass  and  took  up  the  long 
march  to  Ohio  or  remoter  Michigan.  (It  was  in  the  growing  villages  and  cities 
of  this  now  theatre  of  commercial  activity  that  the  late  President  Finney  won 
his  greatest  successes  and  most  enduring,  fruits  as  a  preacher  of  the  Gospel.  If 
is  also  worthy  of  mention  liere  that  Lis  celebrated  Lectures  en  Kevivals  were 
reported  for  and  published  exclusively  in  this  paper.) 

Sprung  of  fathers  who  had  borne  the  burden  and  heat  of  the  day  in  revo- 
lutionary times,  and  in  the  later  war  with  the  mother  country,  these  thrifty 
sons  of  freedom  had,  for  the  most  part,  the  consciousness  of  a  responsibility 
for  the  moral  and  intellectual  culture  of  their  growing  communities  beyond 
their  own  well-ordered  families;  and  material  and  moral  progress  followed  in 
their  track  as  they  came  from  New  England,  Eastern  New  York,  New  Jersey, 
and  rennsylvania.  Churches  and  schools  sprang  up  where  lately  only  the  dense 
and  silent  forests  stood. 

UeJigiously  of  several  denominations,  the  Presbyterian  and  Congregational 
elements  predominated,  and  these,  under  the  then  "Plan  of  the  Union,"  made 
common  cause,  and  the  New  York  Evangelist,  under  the  able  conduct  ot 
the  late  Dr.  Joshua  Lavitt,  became  their  great  mouthpiece. 

Recognized  and  sustained  by  such  a  people— the  first  and  best  of  their  com- 
munities—at a  time  when  men's  minds  were  beginning  to  be  deeply  stirred  in. 
viev/  of  the  wrongs  of  slavery,  and  by  other  questions  alreadj^  hinted,  and 
standing  firmly  to  these  councils  of  charity  and  humanity,  and  of  progress  as 
well,  in  later  years,  when  the  "  war  of  words"  gave  place  to  the  more  terrible 
"arbitrament  of  the  sword;''  and  withal  never  abating  one  iot  of  heart  and 
hope  in  all  the  long  struggle  which  followed— the  New  Yor.K  Evangelist  is 
enabled  to  look  back  from  the  vantage  ground  of  this  Centennial  Year  with 
devout  thanks  to  God,  and  sincere  congratulations  to  its  many  readers.  It  has 
no  reason  to  be  ashamed  of  its  record. 

Since  the  war  and  the  auspicious  reunion  of  the  two  Assemblies  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church— which  reunion  this  paper  promoted  with  all  its  power— 
the  greatEvangelical  Churches,  as  well  as  the  Nation,  seem  to  be  entering  upon  a 
new  era— one  that  betokens  their  enlargement  and  a  corresponding  increase  of 
moral  influence.  And  surely  the  remaining  problems  to  be  solved  ere  the 
prayer  of  our  risen  Lord  shall  be  brouglit  to  pass,  are  such  as  can  be  best,  yea, 
only  successfully  dealt  with  by  the  more  general  reception  ot  the  Gospel  itself. 
It  is  the  only  real  solvent  and  unifyer  of  the  nations  that  are  now  for  the 
tirst  time,  by  reason  of  swift-flying  ships  and  trains,  face  to  face  with  each  other. 
The  Evangelist,  in  common  with  an  increasing  number  in  all  the  Churches, 
looks  to  see  the  great  wealth  and  material  resources  which  have  originated 


252  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 

quite  within  the  span  of  its  own  life,  not  selfishly  hoarded,  but  more  and  more 
freely  given  to  the  furtherance  of  the  Gospel  and  kingdom  of  Jesus  Christ. 

Identified  with  a  particular  corps  of  our  Lord's  militant  host,  the 
Evangelist  is  quite  content  with  these  relations.  It  loves  th^  order  and  strength 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  seeks  the  things  that  make  for  her  peace  and 
progress.  Mindful  of  its  name  and  origin,  it  will  continue  to  labor  for  and 
welcomethe  return  of  such  ingatherings  as  marked  the  time  of  Edwards,  Wliite- 
field,  and  Finney— such  as  shall  purifiy  the  social,  commercial,  and  political 
relations  ot  the  whole  nation .  It  is  taken  chiefly  by  ministers  and  the  more  intelli- 
gent and  reliable  Church  members.  It  has  lost  many  old  subscribers  by  reason  ot 
death,  but  the  children's  names  have  taken  the  place  of  the  fathers.  They  have 
cai-iied  it  from  their  early  p]astern  homes  to  the  Rocky  Mountains,  and  beyond. 
It  seeks  to  extend  its  circulation  everywhere  throughout  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  Ko  longer  shut  out  of  the  South,  it  asks  for  new  friends  there  as  well  as 
at  the  North  and  West. 

Any  complete  catalogue  of  the  names  ot  those  who  have  from  time  to  time 
become  recognized  as  contributors  to  this  paper  would  require  several  pages  ot 
this  publication.  They  are,  or  were,  our  best  known  ministers  and  laymen.  It 
is  hardly  necessary  to  add  that  the  best  and  ablest  pens  will  continue  to  be  em- 
ployed in  its  columns,  and  all  the  features  of  a  first-class  religious  and  family 
paper  will  be  maintained.  It  comments  upon  a  wide  range  of  topics,  from  its 
proper  point  of  view,  and  will  include,  as  heretofore,  a  large  variety  of  miscel- 
laneous and  literary  reading,  and  its  special  departments  for  the  children,  the 
Sunday  school,  and  readers  interested  in  rural  and  scientific  information.  Its 
subscription  price  is  three  dollars  a  year. 

An  especially  attractive  feature  ot  the  Evangelist  for  coming  months  (as 
'for  a  full  year  past)  will  be  the  letters  of  its  editor-in-chief,  Rev.  Henry  M. 
Field,  on  his  way  around  the  world.  It  is  seldom  that  a  series  of  letters  have 
been  so  generally  quoted  by  the  press  of  the  country,  and  so  constantly  refer- 
red to  as  a  source  of  instruction  and  delight,  both  in  the  editorial  and  business 
cori-espondence  of  the  paper.  We  may  add  that  it  is  probable,  in  response  to 
the  wishes  thus  expressed,  that  their  author  will  issue  them  in  a  more  perma- 
nent form  on  his  return  home. 

When  last  heard  from,  Dr.  Field  was  just  quitting  India,  And  we  cannot 
better  close  this  brief  and  inadequate  .sketch  of  the  journal  which  he  has  man- 
aged now  for  more  than  twenty  years  (with  the  assistance  of  his  partners,  the 
Rev,  Wm.  Bradford  a  short  and  Dr.  J.  G.  Craighead  a  longer  time),  than  by  quot- 
ing the  closing  paragraph  of  the  last  letter  to  hand  from  that  remote  quarter. 
Dr.  Field  T%'rites : 

"And  here  I  take  leave  of  the  readers  of  the  Evangelist  for  several 
weeks,  as  we  are  just  'launching  off'  from  this  part  of  Asia  into  what 
seems  almost  like  boundless  space.  On  Monday  morning,  the  13th  of  March, 
we  leave  India  for  Burmah.  Crossing  the  Bay  of  Bengal  we  shall  proceed  first 
to  Rangoon,  and  then  down  the  coast  to  Maulmain,  Malacca,  Penange,  and  Sin- 
gapore, stopping  a  diiy  or  two  at  each  point,  and  thus  taking  in  the  whole  voy- 
age seventeen  days— twice  as  long  as  ic  took  us  to  cross  the  Atlantic.  From 
Singapore  we  may  go  up  the  Gulf  of  Siam  to  Bangkok,  or  proceed  direct  to 
Hong  Kong.  At  Singapore  we  are  almost  exactly  on  the  ojiposite  side  of  the 
globe  from  the  longitude  of  New  York,  In  due  time  we  hope  to  emerge  from 
this  wilderness  of  islands  and  oceans,  and  come  around  on  *  the  right  side'  of 
the  planet,  which  is,  of  course,  the  American  side.  Our  letters  will  hereafter  go

THE  WATCHMAN,". BOSTON,  MASS. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAI.  NEWSPAPEK  EXHIBITION. 


The  Watchman  is,  with  a  single  exception,  the  oldest  religious  weekly  news- 
paper in  the  United  States.  In  character  and  in  reputation,  in  quality  as  in  age 
it  is  the  first  journal  of  its  denomination.  It  was  founded  in  1S19,  and  is,  there- 
fore, now  in  its  fifty-seventh  year. 

The  Christian  Watchman,  the  original  paper,  was  the  only  Baptist  journal 
m  New  England  until  IbiO.    lu  that  year  the  Christian  Beflectoi^  was  established. 

The  two  papers  were  united 
in  1848,  under  the  double  name 
of     Watchman     and    Reflector. 
The  new  journal  grewinpop- 
■  ularity,  under  the  editorship 
of  Rev.  John    W.  Ohnstead, 
D.D.,and  the  efficient  business 
management  of    Mr.    D.    S. 
Ford,  now  of  the  Youth'' s  Com- 
i  panion,  until  in  1867  its  circu. 
lation  was  more  than  20,000 
copies.    In  that  year  a  new 
Ii|  departure  was    taken.     The 
Ijr  paper  was  doubled  in  size  and 
'    became  the  first  to    assume 
the  eight  page  form  now  so 
common  with  the    religious 
weeklies.    The  Christian  Era, 
another  Baptist  paper,  which 
was   moved  from  Lowell  to 
Boston  in    1856,  being  more 
radical  than  its  older  brother, 
divided  with  him  the  patron- 
age  of   New    England    until 
-  THE  WATCHMAN"  BUILDING.  t^e  close  of  1875,  when  both 

papers  were  purchased  by  a  corporation  of  laymen  and  united  under  the  present 
new,  yet  good  old  name— the  Watchman  The  combined  lists  of  the  two  papers 
gives  the  new  journal  a  circulation  larger,  with  one  exception,  than  that  of  any 
other  Baptist  organ  in  the  world.  The  Watchman,  though  its  special  field  is  New 
England,  goes  largely  into  every  State  and  Territory  of  the  Union.  It  has 
readers  in  every  civilized  country  on  the  globe. 

Our  space  will  not  allow  us  even  to  mention  the  men,  good  and  true,  who 
either  by  their  editorial  or  business  services  have  contributed  to  the  stability 
and  prosperity  of  the  paper.  At  present  its  editorial  stafi"  consists  of  Rev. 
John  W.  Ohnstead,  D.  D.,  who  has  been  connected  with  the  paper  for  thirty 
years;  Rev.  Franklin  Johnson,  D.  D.,  of  Cambridge;  Rev.  George  C.  Lorimer, 
D.  D.,  pastor  of  Fremont  Temple,  Boston;  Prof.  Ileman  Lincoln,  D.  D.,  of  New-

THE  KANSAS  CITY  TIMES. 


THE  REPRESENTATIVE  JOURNAL  OF  THE  "  NEW  WEST." 


A   SKI:TCH  FOK  THK  IJOOK  of  the  CEXTEN.NIAL  newspaper  EXHiniTION. 


TheNeio  YorJc '' nerald  of  the  West.'"— The  Kansas  Ciii/ TiMBS'  fast  oieiospaper  train, 
carnjing  early  copies  of  that  jX'per  between  Kansas  City  and  Topeka  during  the  ses- 
sion'of  the  Legislature,  January.  1876. 

It  has  required  decades  and  the  lives  of  many  men  to  establish  the  reputation 
now  enjoyed  hy  the  metropolitan  papers  of  this  country.  Until  within  a  very  few 
years  no  journal  west  of  the  citj-  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  has  come  in  for  a  position  in  the 
catalogue  of  newspapers  now  occupying  prominent  places.  And  so  many  are  the 
obstacles  in  the  way  of  accomplishing  this  that  there  is  but  one  instance  where  it 
has  been  done.  This  exception  is  the  Kansas  City  Times.  Other  newspapers  in  its 
section  are  older,  but  beyond  their  naturally  legitimate  section  they  are  unknown 
and  have  achieved  nothing  beyond  local  iniiaence  and  reputation.  That  the  Kan- 
sas City  Times  has  leaped  beyond  the  ordinary  groove  and  become  something 
greater  may  seem  marvelous  to  the  average  reader  ot  remote  sections,  but  the  fact 
can  be  attested  bj'^  leading  journals  of  the  country,  by  the  official  figures  given  of 
its  circulation  by  what  is  recognized  authority  in  journalistic  circles,  and  by 
the  immense  advertising  patronage  from  abroad  which  has  sought  its  columns. 

THE   SPIRIT    OF  ITS    PRESENT  MANAGEMENT. 

In  1871  the  Times  was  purchased  by  the  present  management  and  organized  as 
a  corporation  into  what  is  now  knov\ni  as  the  Kansas  City  Times  Company,  with 
M.  Munford  as  business  manager.  Prior  to  that  the  paper  had  been  nothing  be- 
yond what  its  contemporaries  were.  The  new  management  saw  the  field  which 
was  presented.  In  the  whole  domain  of  a  country  that  is  fertile  and  populous 
—a  countiy  that  has  excited  the  curiosity  and  admiration  of  the  most  distin- 
guished tourists— which  occupies  the  scope  that  stretches  from  the  western  bank 
of  the  Mississippi  up  into  tiie  range  of  the  Rocky  mountains— there  was  not  a 
single  paper  which  had  a  metropolitan  feature.  By  nature  Kansas  City  seemed 
to  be  the  gateway  of  the  western  continent,  and  from  the  summit  ot  one  of  its 
hills  the  statesman  Benton  hadprophesied  that  here  one  daj'  the  commerce  of  the 
East  would  meet  the  trade  of  the  wide  West  and  that  of  India.  What  was  then 
considered  a  poetic  fancy  has  been  almost  literallj*  verified.  Here  the  railways 
of  the  East  and  AVest  have  centered.  From  here  they  have  brai>ched  out  in  every 
direction,  and  all  along  the  innumberable  lines  are  towns,  villages  and  cities 
that  are  dailj'^  opening  up  the  fertile  lands  adjacent,  which  are  being  occupied 
by  a  class  equal  in  intelligence  and  refinement  to  the  older  sections  of  the  Union. 
Kansas  City  being  the  chief  entre-port  of  the  immense  trade  coming  from  all  of 
these,  the  capitalist  has  established  himself  here,  and  immense  elevators  have 
become  necessary  for  the  accommofuilion  of  the  almost  fabulous  cerefj,ls  of  a 


THE  GKEAT  NEWSPAPERS.  255 

country  the  most  productive  and  progressive  under  the  sun.  Texas  and  the 
Indian  Territory  being  the  chief  grazing  grounds  of  the  land,  and  being  in  direct 
communication  by  rail  with  Kansas  City,  here  are  established  the  largest  beef 
and  pork  packing  establishments  in  the  United  States,  from  which  are  yearly 
exported  direct  to  Liverpool  immense  quantities  of  bulk  meats.  These  facts, 
in  addition  to  the  mercantile  houses  which  have  to  supply  to  a  great  extent  the 
wants  of  the  towns  and  minor  cities  on  the  various  railroads  leading  here,  made 
the  point  one  of  the  most  favorable  in  the  West  for  the  establishment  ot  a  first- 
class  daily  paper  that  would  be  metropolitan  in  all  its  appointments.  From 
1871  to  the  present  time  such  a  strict  and  rigid  adherence  to  this  idea  has  been 
kept  up  tliat  the  intended  results  has'already  been  achieved,  until  the  Times  is 
invariably  alluded  to  by  its  many  contemporaries  as  the  "  New  York  Herald  of 
the  West."  Upon  assuming  control  of  the  paper  the  new  management  put  in 
steam-power  presses  to  supply  on  time  the  increase  which  commenced  at  once 
to  its  subscription  lists.  The  Times  became  recognized  at  this  point  as  the  lead- 
ing morning  paper  of  the  city.  Its  make  up,  its  resume  of  daily  news  from 
neighboring  vicinities,  its  special  telegrams,  which  were  first  introduced  by  it 
in  the  West,  made  it  the  A^ery  foremost  in  the  ranks  of  Western  journalism. 
When  this  was  established  the  ultimate  result  was  attempted,  and  the  success 
was  not  only  attained  but  so  suddenly  did  the  paper  leap  to  that  station  that  its 
political  opponents  of  their  own  accord  pronounced  it  a  marvel  of  enterprise  . 
carrying  with  it  a  dash  which  caused  it  to  make  inrOads  upon  the  circulations 
of  its  St.  Louis  contemporaries. 

ITS  POLITICAL  INFLUENCE  AND  STANDING. 

At  the  State  capital  it  became  the  recognized  organ  of  its— the  Democratic 
—party  of  the  State,  and  Its  opinions  and  views  were  quoted  by  the  law-makers 
of  the  commonwealth.  As  wonderful  as  this  appeared  to  the  larger  and  older 
papers  of  Western  cities,  It  was  eclipsed  by  the  Times  crossing  the  border  and 
entering  the  State  of  Kansas,  where  it  at  once  surpassed  in  circulation  and  in^ 
fluence  every  daily  paper  there,  and  to-daj-  it  is  delivered  in  the  leading  cities 
of  that  State,  by  carriers,  almost  as  earlj^  as  the  morning  papers  of  those  cities.  Its 
general  circulation  in  that  State  exceeds  the  combined  circulation  of  all  the 
dailies  of  Kansas.  This  Is  a  step  in  advance  of  any  newspaper  west  of  the 
Alleghany  mountains.  It  stands  out  as  especially  creditable  to  the  Times,  in 
consideration  of  the  fact  that  while  the  paper  is  fearlessly  and  ably  Democratic 
the  State  of  Kansas  is  overwhelmingly  Republican  in  sentiment.  To  gain  a 
foothold  under  such  circumstances  as  these  is  a  triumph  which  the  oldest  and 
ablest  paper  of  the  seaboard  might  well  wish  to  achieve  and  wear  with  pride. 
In  accomplishing  this  the  Times  has  won  the  confidence  of  the  people  of  Kansas, 
because  Its  policy  has  never  been  adverse  to  the  interests  of  that  State,  because 
it  contains  the  latest  and  freshest  news,  and  because  it  has  stood  by  the  reform 
movement  there  in  all  of  its  endeavors  to  root  out  a  nest  of  political  corruption- 
ists  that  tooic  possession  of  its  State  affairs  only  to  plunder.  Every  expose  of 
fraud  and  corruption  that  has  been  made  is  credited  to  the  vigilance  and  abilltjr 
of  the  Times. 

THE    TIMES'    ANNUAL    REVIEW. 

Another  feature  which  was  introduced  by  the  Times,  and  has  been  steadily 
kept  up,  is  its  mammoth  yearly  review  of  the  commerce,  trade,  and  growth  of 
its  city  and  the  circle  of  country  tributary  to  it.  So  popular  has  this  feature 
become,  that  on  the  first  of  the  present  year  its  review  was  the  largest  ever 
issued— surpassing  those  of  St.  Louis— covering  twenty  iiages  of  closely-printed 
matter,  accompanied  by  fifty-two  distinctive  cuts  of  public  buildings,  a  mam- 
moth view  of  the  Gi-eat  Union  Stock  Yards,  all  printed  on  the  finest  paper.  Tiie 
circulation  of  this  review  Avas  over  and  above  that  of  anything  similar  e\'er 
issued  from  a  Western  press.  So  complete  Avas  it,  and  so  gigantic  an  undertak- 
ing that  the  columns  of  the  papers  of  the  West,  South,  and  even  many  of  the 
metropolitan  papers  teemed  Avith  encomiums,  Avhich  have  been  collected  and 
are  now  issued  in  a  neat  A'^olume. 


256  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 


THE  TIMES'  FAST  NEWSPAPER  TRAIN. 

When  all  of  these  features  had  been  perfected,  and  the  Times  had  achieved 
that  whicli  its  management  hud  foreshadowed  upon  their  accession  to  it,  the 
public  seemed  to  be  content,  and  as  the  Times  had  become  a  visitor  in  every 
hamlet  and  metropolitan  in  all  of  its  workings,  there  appeared  to  be  nothing 
beyond  except  a  maiiitainance  of  wliat  its  energy  had  v*^rought.  It  was  at  this 
juncture  that  the  managers  conceived  another  feature  which,  when  it  was  an- 
nounced would  have  been  discredited  had  not  the  public  become  convinced  that 
every  advance  made  by  the  paper  had  been  carried  to  the  front.  This  was  none 
other  than  the  starting  of  a  daily  fast  newspaper  train  of  its  own  between  Kansas 
City  and  Topeka,  the  capital  of  Kansas,  the  same  to  be  continued  during  the  legis- 
lative session  at  the  latter  city.  This  was  a  dash  in  advance  ot  any  paper  in  the 
CFnited  States.  The  New  York  Herald  had  its  fast  Sunday  newspaper  train,  and 
the  Chicago  Times  had  one  which  it  run  between  that  city  and  Milwaukee  once  a 
week.  But  the  Kansas  City  Times,  a  paper  which  had  come  into  existence  years 
after  the  reputation  of  both  the  former  had  been  established,  conceived  the 
idea  of  running  a  fast  newspaper  train  of  its  own,  at  its  own  expense,  daily, 
between  its  city  and  the  capital  of  Kansas.  The  illustration  which  is  embodied 
in  this  article  will  probably  convey  a  more  accurate  idea  of  this  train  than  lan- 
guage can  do.  The  first  trip  was  made  January  11,  1876,  and  it  continued  to 
run  consecutively  for  fifty-five  successive  days.  The  time  card  was  so  arranged 
that  the  Times  arrived  in  Topeka  and  was  delivered  there— as  it  was  at  all  inter- 
mediate points— by  early  breakfast  and  many  hours  in  advance  of  the  regular 
mail.  Returning,  the  train  brought  back  the  full  legislative  proceedings  of  the 
day,  thus  giving  the  readers  of  the  section  where  the  Times  circulated  on  the 
following  morning  a  full  and  carefully  prepared  account  of  the  proceedings  ol 
the  Legislature. 

This  extraordinary  movement  on  the  part  of  the  managers  of  the  Times 
eclipsed  every  former  attempt  at  enterprise  by  the  papers  of  the  country,  and 
proved  conclusively,  if  the  fact  had  ever  been  doubted,  that  the  Times  was  so 
successfully  established  that  it  had  moved  far  beyond  the  line  which  bounds  the 
existence  of  ordinary  journalism.  If  the  manmoth  review  had  caused  a  flutter,  the 
fast  newspaper  train  had  created  a  furore,  and  for  wrecks  after  the  train  had 
commenced  its  runs  the  press  of  the  entire  West  and  many  of  the  papers  of  the 
East  and  South  were  munificent  in  their  awards  of  praise  to  the  enterprise  of 
the  Kansas  City  Times.  This  was  continued  until  the  encomiums  reached  a  bulk 
equal  to  ten  columns  of  leaded  minion  tjqDC  of  the  paper.  During  the  entire 
session  of  the  Legislature  not  a  delay  or  accident  occured,  and  on  the  day  of 
adjournment  a  free  excursion,  consisting  of  ten  coaches,  to  the  Kansas  Capitol, 
was  given  by  the  managers  of  the  Times.  To  this  were  invited  the  city  officials 
of  Kansas  City,  prominent  citizens,  and  the  press  of  Missouri  and  Kansas. 

The  expense  of  the  newspap'er  train  was  borne  by  the  Times  alone,  and 
amounted  in  the  aggregate  to  more  than  the  value  of  an  ordinaiy  Western 
newspaper. 

RESULTS  OF  ITS  ENTERPRISE. 

To  show  how  the  enterprise  was  appreciated,  and  the  additional  interest 
taken  in  a  paper  of  such  energy  elsewhere,  the  circulation  was  argumented  to 
such  an  enormous  extent  that  the  press  facilities  were  unable  to  supply  the 
demand  in  time  for  the  various  out-going  trains.  There  was  no  delay  in  meeting 
this  emergency.  The  want  was  seen  and  felt,  and  in  due  time  a  new  two-cylin 
der  Hoe  press  was  purchased  and  placed  in  position,  being  the  first  and  only 
one  used  by  any  newspaper  between  St.  Louis  and  San  Francisco.  This  enter- 
prise was  again  heralded  by  the  press  of  the  countrj",  and  another  laurel  was 
twined  about  the  most  enterprising  newspaper  west  of  Chicago. 

THE  LEADING  JOURNAL  OF  THE  "  NEW  WEST." 
Thus  in  five  years,  with  capital,  determination,  unexampled  spirit  and 
appreciated  ability,  the  Kansas  City  Times  has  become  a  newspaper  of  national 
reputation,  a  mark— with  dvie  deference  to  the  press  of  its  section— not  achieved 
by  any  between  St.  Louis  and  San  Francisco.  Having  reached  this  point,  there 
can  be  no  retrograde.    In  its  course  there  has  been  no  failure.    Every  adventure 


THE  GREAT  ii^EWSPAPERS  257 

thus  far  has  been  attended  with  all  of  the  elements  of  increase.  It  stands  to-day 
the  only  recognized  first- class  daily  in  its  city,  with  a  working  force  on  the  same 
plan  as  those  of  the  great  dailies  of  the  larger  citi(!s.  The  leading  Democratic 
organ  of  its  own  State,  though  not  published  in  the  State's  metropolis.  The  great 
newspaper  of  the  State  of  Kansas,  and  of  that  vast  fertile  region  known  as  the 
"  New  West,"  and  the  first  in  every  respect  beyond  the  Mississippi  river,  its 
circulation  extending  into  the  Territories  and  penetrating  the  leading  sections 
ofTexas. 

This  brief  review  of  the  Kansas  City  Times  makes  its  own  showing.  It  has 
not  a  parallel  in  the  annals  of  journalism,  and  establishes  the  reputation,  and 
rivets  it  securely,  that  it  is  the  only  great  newspaper  conducted  on  a  metropoli- 
tan plan  west  of  the  metropolis  of  its  own  State. 


THE  PORTLAND  TRANSCRIPT. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK  OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Portland  (Me.)  Transcript,  a  weekly  literai-y  and  family  journal,  was 
started  in  April,  1836,  by  Charles  P.  Isley,  who  had  the  editorial  management  of 
it  for  about  ten  years.  In  1848  it  came  into  the  hands  of  Erastus  E.  Gould  and 
Edward  H.  Elwell,  the  latter  assuming  its  editorial  management.  In  conse. 
quence  of  ill  health  Mr.  Gould  retired  from  the  firm  in  1856,  and  the  paper  has 
since  been  published  by  Mr.  Elwell  and  Messrs.  Samuel  T.  and  Charles  W. 
Pickard,  under  the  firm  name  of  Elwell,  Pickard  &  Co.  Mr.  Elwell  has  had  an 
unbroken  editorial  connection  with  it  for  nearly  twenty  eight  years,  Mr.  Samuel 
T.  Pickard  has  been  connected  with  its  management  for  twenty-three  years,  and 
Mr.  Charles  W.  Pickard  for  sixteen  years.  From  the  first  the  Transcript  has 
maintained  a  high  position  as  a  first-class  literary  weekl3^  Among  its  contribu. 
tors  are  many  who  have  made  a  name  in  the  literary  world,  and  are  novv^  valued 
contributors  to  the  first  periodicals  of  the  day.  It  lias  reached  a  well-deserved 
rank  among  family  papers,  as  much  by  its  high  moral  tone  as  hy  the  excellence 
of  its  original  and  carefully  selected  matter.  In  addition  to  its  original  stories, 
sketches,  essays,  poems  and  reviews,  it  gives  a  condensed  summai  y  of  the  news 
of  the  State  and  the  countj^  as  well  as  market  reports  and  commercial  reviews 
Faithful  to  good  principles  and  the  best  interests  of  the  State,  it  is  received  and 
appreciated  by  thousands  of  families,  to  whom  it  is  a  most  valuable  auxiliarj' 
in  the  education  of  the  rising  generation;  giving  tone  and  vigor  to  the  essential 
elements  which  are  the  bulwarks  of  the  country.  In  the  course  of  its  history  of 
forty  years  it  has  absorbed  a  considerable  number  of  other  journals  which  ran 
well  for  a  season,  and  now  stands  upon  a  consolidated  basis  as  wide  as  the  limits 
of  our  country.  Its  subscribers  are  found  in  every  State  in  the  Union,  and  its 
subscription  list  has  reached  a  point  surpassing  any  other  in  the  State  by 
thousands.  It  has  a  limited  space  devoted  to  advertisements,  and  its  great  cir- 
culation makes  it  the  best  possible  medium  for  business  men  desiring  to  attract 
attention.  It  has  the  best  and  most  convenient  newspaper  oflice  in  the  city, 
where  its  publishers  are  always  pleased  to  receive  their  friends. 


THE  ARGUS,  ALBANY,  N.  Y. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THK  KOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIHITION. 


For  more  than  sixty  years  the  Albany  Argus  has  held  a  prominent  place 
among  the  most  eminent  and  leading  journals  of  the  country.  It  was  founded 
January  26, 1813,  by  Jesse  Buel,  a  man  of  culture  and  practical  business  training. 
Although  Albanj'-  was  then,  as  now,  the  capital  of  New  York,  its  population  was 
less  than  the  last  census  gives  to  the  smallest  of  the  twenty-four  cities  of  the 
State.  The  paper,  however,  was  from  the  start  a  recognized  power  in  the  coun- 
try. It  gave  a  vigorous  and  cordial  support  to  the  war  then  raging  between  the 
United  States  and  Great  Britain,  and  did  all  in  its  power  to  strengthen  and  up- 
hold the  Administration  of  President  Madison.  Its  patriotic  course  in  this  and 
other  respects  secured  for  it  a  strong  hold  upon  tlie  public  confidence. 

Mr.  Buel  conducted  the  paper  until  1820.  when  it  passed  into  the  hands  of 
Moses  I.  Cantine  (a  brother-in-law  of  Martin  Van  Buren)  and  Isaac  Q.  Leake. 
Three  years  afterwards  Mr.  Cantine  died,  and  its  proprietorship  experienced 
another  change.  It  was  this  circumstance  that  brought  Edwin  Croswell  to 
Albany.  He  had  for  some  years  conducted  a  weekly  paper  in  Catskill.  Greene 
county,  and  being  a  former  neighbor  of  Mr.  Cantine  he  came  to  Albany  to  at- 
tend his  funeral.  Befoi-e  returning  home  he  was  offered  the  editorship  of  the 
Argus.  He  accepted,  purchased  the  interest  held  by  the  Cantine  estate,  and  the 
Argus  was  launched  upon  a  career  of  increased  prosperity.  This  was  in  the 
winter  of  1823.  Mr.  Leake  soon  afterwards  retired,  leaving  Mr.  Croswell  the  sole 
owner.  Like  his  predecessors,  Messrs.  Buel  and  Cantine,  Mr.  Croswell  was 
made  State  printer.  The  Argus  was  stai'ted  as  a  semi-weekly,  and  was  so  pub- 
lished until  October  18, 1825,  when  it  made  its  appearance  as  a  daily  morning- 
paper— a  stretch  of  enteriirise  at  that  time,  but  a  step  which  was  warranted  by 
the  subsequent  success  it  secured.  From  this  time  the  Argus  assumed  a  char, 
acter  and  position  not  before  accorded  to  it.  Martin  Van  Buren,  Silas  Wright, 
William  L.  Marcy,  and  other  statesmen,  who  afterwards  wielded  great  power  in 
the  country,  were  just  forcing  their  way  to  the  front  rank  of  national  politics. 
The  Argus  was  the  organ  of  this  new  element  of  political  power,  and  when  it 
spoke  there  was  meaning  and  significance  in  every  line  and  sentence.  This 
combination  soon  became  known  far  and  wide  as  the  "Albany  Regencj'."  In 
the  course  of  a  few  years  the  men  composing  it  reached  the  highest  places  in  the 
National  and  State  governments. 

In  those  days  the  three  pre-eminently  great  Democratic  newspapers  of  the 
country  were  the  Albany  Argus,  the  Washington  Globe  and  the  Richmond 
i?nor^(^rer— Croswell,  Blair,  and  Ritchie.  Whatever  party  programme  was  agreed 
upon  hy  this  triumvirate,  it  were  needless  to  oppose.  They  were  strong  with 
their  party  and  with  the  country.  Years  of  continued  success  and  prosperity 
furnislied  evidence  of  their  wisdom  and  ability.  During  all  those  years  the 
Argus  made  a  record  for  itself  which  can  be  contemplated  with  unvarying  sat- 
isfaction. It  advocated  and  supported  the  leading  measures  of  the  Administra- 
tions of  the  government  to  which  men  now  of  all  parties  revert  with  pride— the 
Administrations  of  Madison,  Monroe,  Jackson,  Van  Buren,  and  Polk. 

On  the  19th  of  April,  1854,  Mr.  Croswell  retired  from  the  paper,  having  had  the 
editorial  management  of  it  for  a  period  of  thirty  years.  He  was  succeeded  by 
Sherman  Croswell.  In  1855  this  gentleman  was  succeeded  by  Calvert  Comstock, 
and  in  1856  the  Atlas  and  Argus  were  united,  and  Calvert  Comstock  and  William 
Cassidy  became  editors  and  proprietors.  In  1865  Mr.  Comstock  retired  on 
account  of  impaired  health,  and  the  Argus  Company  Avas  organized,  William 
Cassidy  being  President  and  editor-in-chief,  and  Daniel  Manning  and  J.  Wesky 
Smith  associates.   In  Janviary,  1873,  Mr.  Cassidy  died  in  the  midst  of  his  editorial

labors.  His  career  is  fresh  in  the  minds  of  the  thonsands  who  were  accustomed 
to  watch  for  his  hrilliant  articles.  His  style  was  peculiarly  his  own— eloquent, 
original,  and  sparkling.  3Ir.  Manning  succeeded  Mr.  Cassidy.  The  present  own- 
ers of  the  Argus  are  Daniel  Manning,  Mrs.  William  Cassidy,  J.  Wesley  Smith,  and 
William  H.  Johnson, 

At  no  time  in  its  history  has  the  circulation  of  the  Argus  been  so  large  as 
at  present,  or  its  prospects  brighter  for  a  long  and  pi-osperous  career.  As  in  its 
past  history,  so  it  is  now  the  recognized  exponent  of  democratic  principles  and 
democratic  policy. 

The  AKGUS  has  three  editions— Daily,  Semi-Weekly,  and  Weekly.  Its  patrons 
are  to  be  found  in  every  section  of  the  country,  and  are  rapidly  increasing,  thus 
inviting  the  patronage  of  advertisers  and  business  men.  Its  market  reports  are 
made  a  specialty,  and  are  unsurpassed  for  completeness  and  accuracy. 


THE    ARGUS    BUILDING. 

The  Argus  building  is  located  on  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  Beaver  street. 
The  structure  has  a  front  of  forty-five  feet  on  Broadway,  eighty-live  feet  on 
Beaver  street,  and  is  five  stories  high.  The  entire  bviilding  is  occupied  by  the 
extensive  printing  establishment  of  the  Argus  Company.  The  building  is 
supplied  with  elevators  operated  by  steam,  and  possesses  all  the  accommoda- 
tions for  conducting  a  great  newspaper.  It  has  recently  been  greatly  enlarged 
and  improved.  It  occupies  a  site  which  is  one  of  the  most  attractive  in  the  city. 
Located  on  Broadway,  just  below  its  junction  with  State  street,  it  commands  a 
complete  view  of  Broadway  to  the  Delavan  House  on  the  north,  and  to  tlae 
steamboat  landing  on  the  south.  The  new  post-ofHce  in  course  of  erection  by 
the  Federal  Governinent  is  located  within  twenty  rods,  and  in  full  view  of  the 
Argus  building. 

The  terms  of  the  Argus  are:  Daily,  $10  per  annum;  Semi- Weekly,  $3  per 
annum;  Weekly,  $1  50  per  annum.    The  usual  reduction  made  to  clubs. 


"  THE  WORLD,"  NEW  YORK. 


A  SKKTCII  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CEXTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


"THE  WORLD'  BUILDING. 

The  World  building  is  on  tlie  site  of  the  old  brielc  church,  and  its  prox- 
imity to  the  new  Post-office  and  its  situation  at  the  angle  of  Park  Row  and 
Boekman  street,  with  entrances  to  the  publication  office  on  both  streets,  give  it 
the  most  eligible  newspaper  location  on  Printing  House  square. 

This  great  journal  was  established  June  14, 18G0,  and  announced  in  its  first 
issue  that  it  would  be  "  independent  in  politics."  In  July,  1S61,  it  united  with  itself 
the  New  York  Courier  and  Enquirer,  one  of  the  oldest  and  most  respectable  journals 
in  the  city.  Enormous  sums  of  money  were  expended,  but  The  Would  was  not 
a  success  till  it  was  purchased,  April  12,  1862.  by  Mr.  Manton  Marble  who  had  been 
connected  with  it  since  its  establishment.  He  at  once  made  it  a  Democratic 
.ioui-nal,  devoted  to  the  time-honored  principles  of  "  Hard  money,  free  trade,  and 
home  rule."  He  parted  with  a  portion  of  the  stock  of  the  paper  to  influential 
Democratic  associates,  retaining,  however,  a  controlling  interest  and  always 
having  exclusive  management,  with  no  interference,  of  every  department.  In 
January,  1864,  he  bought  back  the  shares  he  had  sold,  and  so  became  the  sole 
proprietor  and  editor  of  the  paper. 

Manton  Marble  is  a  born  journalist.  Almost  immediately  after  his  gradua- 
tion at  Rochester  University,  in  1855,  he  went  to  Boston,  where  he  joined 
the  stair  of  the  Journal,  and  soon  afterward  became  the  responsible  edi- 
tor   of  the    Boston    Traveller.     In   1S5S  he  joined  the  staff   of  the  New  York 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS  261 

Evening  Post,  to  which  he  was  attractefl  by  its  free-trade  principles,  and 
remained  in  that  position  till  The  World  was  estahlished.  He  was  but  twenty- 
seven  years  old  when  he  assumed  the  entire  control  of  The  World,  which, 
under  his  management,  at  once  became  a  powerful  journal,  and  has  lon^-  since 
been  generally  conceded  to  be  "the  leading  Democratic  journal  in  the  Union." 

Mr.  Marble's  high  standard  of  professional  duty  and  professional  accom- 
plishments enabled  him  from  the  first  to  draw  around  him  a  start'  surpassed  by 
that  of  no  other  journal  in  the  country.  When  he  assumed  the  management  of 
the  World  large  sums  had  been  sunk  in  the  enterprise,  and  it  was  rega,rded  by 
many  persons  as  past  redemption.  Ho  inspired  his  associates  with  his  confi- 
dence in  its  future,  boldly  increased  its  outlays  for  news,  enlarged  and  reorgan- 
ized its  working  force  in  all  departments,  poured  into  it  all  the  resources  ot 
scholarship  and  ability  at  his  command,  and  in  a  very  short  time  compelled  tlie 
public  to  recognize  its  power  and  authority,  bolli  as  an  organ  of  opinion  and  a 
vehicle  of  information  on  all  subjects  of  real  and  vital  interest  to  the  commu- 
nity. The  verdict  of  the  press  and  public  of  the  United  States  has  long  ago  been 
recorded,  and  is  but  echoed  by  the  latest  foreign  critic  of  our  metropolitan 
journalism,  who  has  recently  said  of  the  World  in  the  columns  of  the  leading 
conservative  journal  of  Great  Britain  that  "it  has  the  ablest,  wittiest  and  most 
scholarly  editorial  writers  in  the  city  of  New  York.  Its  money  article,"  adds 
the  same  observer, ''is  confessedly  the  ablest  in  any  of  the  city  journals.  It 
wants  free  trade,  hard  money  and  home  rule;  and  is  the  organ  of  the  Northern 
Democrats,  with  principles  broad  enough  for  all  sections.'' 

In  addition  to  its  daily,  semi- weekly,  and  weekly  editions.  The  World  pub- 
lishes a  special  Sundaj--  paper.  The  first  number  was  issued  April  5,  ISuS,  and  it 
at  once  attained  great  popularity  from  its  introduction  of  features  which  the 
pressure  of  news  and  advertisements  on  week  days  did  not  admit.  It  is,  of 
course,  a  regular  continuance  of  the  daily  issue;  but  the  Sunday  issue  is  greater 
by  some  thousands  than  that  of  any  other  day,  from  the  fact  that  there  are 
thousands  who  buy  and  read  a  paper  on  no  other  daj^  and  the  Sunday  World 
is  the  most  popular  of  all  the  Sunday  papers.  Among  its  salient  special- 
ties are  always  delightful  dramatic  feuilletons  and  entertaining  com- 
munications from  regular  contributors.  The  Sunday  editorials,  too,  are 
generally  non-political  and  devoted  to  social  topics;  and  with  all,  there  is  a 
vast  amount  of  most  interesting  miscellaneous  matter. 

The  Weekly  World,  at  the  astonishing  low  price  of  one  dollar  a  year,  witli 
extra  inducements  to  clubs,  is  unquestionably  the  best  and  cheapest  newspaper 
in  the  United  States.  Instead  of  being,  like  many  weekly  issues  of  the  metro- 
politan dailies,  a  hastily  pitched-together  jumble  of  matter  standing  on  the  gal- 
leys, it  is  a  carefully  and  specially  prepared  journal,  with  its  special  editor  and 
assistants,  under  supervision  of  the  Chief,  and  is,  in  fact,  totally  distinct 
from  the  daily,  in  these  respects— that  the  news  of  the  week  is  largely  rewritten 
and  condensed  so  as  to  give  all  that  is  important  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  and 
special  articles,  agricultural  and  industrial,  together  with  elaborate  market 
reports,  prepared  expressly  for  this  issue,  are  presented  in  the  Weekly,  which 
do  not  appear  in  the  daily  at  all.  There  is  always  a  "good  story"  for  family 
reading,  either  orginal  or  selected  from  the  best  English,  or  translated  from 
French  or  German  magazines,  the  publication  of  which,  of  course,  would  be 
impossible  in  the  daily,  with  much  miscellany,  giving  the  family  days  of 
i-eading  till  the  next  issue  arrives,  thus  making  the  always  welcome  Weekly, 
as  used  to  be  said  of  She: man's  poor  man's  plaster,  "good  for  a  week  back." 
Of  course,  the  very  latest  news,  including  all  the  important  telegrams  and  cable- 
grams of  the  day  of  publication  are  given,  v.-ith  the  latest  markets  and  quota- 
tions. The  most  salient  editorials  of  the  week,  presenting  The  World's  views 
on  all  important  political  issues,  are  also  presented,  thus  widely  extending  its 
influence  in  the  effort  to  break  down  corruption  and  to  unite  the  Democrats 
and  Conservatives  in  the  coming  Presidential  strugi^le,  which  is  to  decide  the 
future  destinies  of  the  Republic.  Its  admirably  edited  Grange  department 
makes  it  an  especial  favorite  with  the  farmers  of  the  We?t.  As  long  ago  as 
June,  IS'JS,  and  apropos  of  the  arrival  of  delegates  from  all  parts  of  the  country 
to  the  National  Democratic  convention  in  New  York,  the  New  York  correspcn- 


262  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS. 


dent  of  the  Boston  Conrier  thus  described  the  mere  mechanical  processes  neces- 
sary to  produce  the  issue  of  the  Weekly  World. 

*  *  *  (t  rpijg  (j^^^y  casually  •  done,'  that  is  surfacewise,  in  a  day  or  two,  the 
curiosity  of  the  newly-arrived  delegate  centers  upon  Tammany  Hall,  now  rap- 
idly completing,  Central  Park,  which  never  will  be  finished  so  long  as  grass 
grows  and  water  runs,  and  the  office  of  the  'great  daily'  which  has  furnished 
the  political  pabifium  and  literary  and  news  record  for  himself  and  his  family  far 
away.  Of  the  dally  he  knows  and  sees  little.  It  is  the  peculiarity  of  the  rural 
regions  to  be  content  with  a  good  weekly  paper,  and  the  weekly  issues  of  the 
great  dailies  in  the  city  are  generally  more  widely  known,  and  are  move  a  force 
neces.sarily  fi-om  their  larger  circulation,  than  the  daily  issues  of  the  same  jour* 
nals.  Down  to  Printing  House  square  comes  our  inquisitive  Delegate  to  see 
how  the  paper  that  comes  to  him  once  a  week  as  a  guide,  philosopher  and  friend 
is  manufactured.  Not  specially  to  see  how  the  brain  work  is  done  in  the  top 
stories  of  those  loitj  buildings,  but  how  the  pai)er  is  printed,  folded,  mailed, 
and  forwarded,  Let  us  push  by  the  cords  upon  cords  of  bundled  paper  that  al- 
ways block  the  sidewalk  here  and  there  on  the  square,  the  assumed  right  of  the 
publishers  tacitlv  admitted,  even  by  policemen,  to  be  superior  to  the  right  of 
way,  and  push  down  into  the  bo  wels  of  The  Wokld.  It  is  six  o'clock  on  Tuesday 
night.  At  this  hour  the  counting  room  above  is  almost  desert<d,  and  the  cars 
centering  at  City  Hall  Park  are  rapidly  depleting  that  part  of  the  city,  for  busi- 
ness men  and  clerks  are  going  home  to  dinner.  But  from  the  comparatively 
quiet  street,  down,  deep  down  in  the  basement  of  The  World  building,  two 
stories  underground,  we  come  upon  a  busy  scene  indeed.  The  Weekly  Wokld 
is  just  going  to  press.  The  .steam  engine  is  doing  a  driving  business— that  is,  it 
is  driving  a  ten-cylinder  Hoe  pres^s.  which,  in  turn,  is  driving  at  the  rate  of  fi'om 
thirty-two  to  thirty-six  revolutions  a  minute,  each  revolution  printing  ten  pa- 
pers, or  from  three  Imndred  and  twenty  to  three  hundred  and  sixty  papers 
every  ininute.  A  foreman,  assistant,  ten  feeders,  oilers,  lifters,  and  sundry  other 
workers  make  this  a  lively  corner  in  the  huge  cavern.  But  the  engine  drives 
also  six  folding  machines,  a  man  at  each,  each  machine  folding  from  2,t'00  to 
3,000  copies  an  hour,  or  an  average  say  <^f  2,.i00  copies  to  each.  From  6  p.  m.  till 
12  m.  runs  press  and  folders,  when  the  weekly  rests  and  the  daily  goes  to  press. 
At  Qh  o'clock  next  morning  begins  work  on  the  weekly  again,  and  press  and 
folders  run  till  1  p.  m.,  or  aboutthirteen  hours  on  this  one  issue.  From  the  press 
room  to  the  quite  as  busy  bundling  room,  and  here  we  find  another  foreman 
and  twenty-four  men  who  act  as  supplementary  folders  to  the  machines,  folding 
an  average  of  600  copies  each  in  an  hour;  and  these  with  the  bundlers,  packers 
and  baggers  put  up  in  packages  of  all  sizes  and  in  bags  for  the  mail  during  the 
night  and  morning  135  bags,  averaging  1,000  copies  to  the  bag,  or  i:^>5,000  copies 
for  the  twelve  or  thirteen  hours'  work.  Delegate  is  astonished  when  he  is  told 
that  the  white  paper  for  this  single  issue  weighs  about  seven  tons,  would  fill  a 
room  twenty  feet  square,  and  if  pieced  out  sheet  by  sheet  would  extend  a  dis- 
tance of  about  ninety-four  miles." 

This  was  written  seven  years  ago,  and  is  by  no  means  an  adequate  descrip- 
tion of  the  department  at  present.  The  largely  increased  circulation  of  all 
issues  of  The  World,  especially  of  the  daily,  have  long  ago  necessitated  the 
introduction  of  another  gigantic  Hoe  press,  so  that  both  sides  of  the  paper  can 
now  be  printed  simviltaneously.  Another  and  important  advantage  is  that  the 
paper  can  be  put  to  press  at  a  later  hour,  with  later  news,  and  yet  catch  the 
earliest  mails,  which  is  ot  especial  importance  to  the  dailj^  morning  issue. 
What  is  lost  in  the  employment  of  a  necessarily  larger  force  is  gained  in  time. 
All  the  latest  machines  for  folding  and  mailing  have  been  freely  introduced, 
regardless  of  cost,  and  in  all  its  appointments  in  this  department  The  World 
office  is  thoroughly  complete. 

Since  1868  this  establishment  has  annually  issued  the  "  The  World  Alman- 
ac," which  is  simply  the  most  complete,  concise,  correct,  and  best  Politi- 
cal Manual  published  in  the  United  States. 


THE  EVENING  STAR,  WASHINGTON  CITY, 

A   SKETCH  FORTHK   BOOK   OF  THK  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


In  a  greater  degree  perhaps  than  any  newspaper  in  the  country,  The  Wash- 
ington Evening  Star  is  the  exponent  and  representative  of  the  interests  of  the 
citj-  in  which  it  is  published.  Tins  has  been  its  character  from  the  beginning, 
and  to  this  distinctive  feature  is  largely  due  its  present  wide  circulation  and  its 
high  character  as  an  advertising  medium.  Founded  in  18r)2,  it  is  by  many  years 
the  oldest,  as  it  is  also  the  most  popular  and  influential,  of  the  many  news 
pai3ers  published  at  the  National  Capital.  The  policy  of  giving  the  closest 
attention  to  local  interests  which  was  adopted  b^^  its  founders  has  not  only 
been  adhered  to,  but  still  farther  developed  by  its  present  management,  into 
whose  hands  the  paper  came,  by  purchase,  in  1867.  Not  only  this,  however. 
Immediately  on  assuming  control  they  determined  to  solve  the  problem  of 
publishing  a  daily  news  and  business  journal,  strongly  local  in  character,  so 
cheap  as  to  be  v/ithin  the  means  of  the  poorest  citizen  yet  so  wide  in  its  scope, 
so  high  in  its  aims,  and  so  full  and  complete  in  all  its  departments  as  to  meet 
the  exacting  demands  of  those  wishing  to  keep  posted  in  the  daily  doings  of 
the  whole  world.  To  this  end  the  largest  and  best  attainable  force  of  editors, 
reporters  and  correspondents  is  constantly  employed,  the  telegraph  is  freely 
and  liberally  used,  and  the  fastest  and  most  powerful  printing  machinery  is 
called  into  service.  The  result  is  a  daily  newspaper  which  literally  goes  into 
every  household  in  the  District  of  Colvimbia.  It  has  indeed  been  conclusively 
established  that  The  Star  has  more  than  three  times  as  many  subscribers  and 
more  than  five  times  as  many  readers  as  any  other  daily  paper  published  in 
Washington.  And  not  this  alone.  Its  regular  permanent  subscriiition  list  is 
believed  to  be  larger  than  that  of  any  evening  paper  in  the  United  States,  no 
matter  wdiere  published,  while  its  circulation  is,  in  proportion  to  the  population 
of  the  city  where  printed  and  circulated,  the  largest  and  fullest  possessed  by 
any  newspaper  in  the  world.  It  follows,  therefore,  that  within  the  territory 
covered  by  Its  circulation  it  has  no  rival,  nor  anything  approaching  an  equal, 
as  a  means  of  reaching  the  public.  It  has,  in  fact,  passed  into  a  maxim  tliat 
"  Every  body  in  the  District  of  Columbia  who  can  read,  reads  The  Star,  and 
every  one  who  advertises  at  all  advertises  in  its  columns."  Yet  it  must  not  be 
thought  that  its  circulation  and  influence  are  only  local.  It  has  a  wide  distri- 
bution through  the  mails,  and  in  addition  to  this  every  issue  of  the  paper  is 
carefully  read  by  the  throngs  of  strangers  constantly  visiting  the  National 
Capital  on  business  or  for  pleasure,  and  who  constitute  in  a  very  large  degree 
the  wealthj'  and  purchasing  population  of  the  different  States  and  Territories; 
so  that,  while  its  field  is  in  a  marked  degree  local,  it  is  nevertheless  in  the  best 
sense  cosmopolitan  and  uncircumscribed  in  its  sphere. 

But  peihaps  the  history  of  this  remarkably  successful  and  popular  journal 
can  best  be  epitomized  by  stating  the  suggestive  facts  that  it  commenced  its 
career  in  lS.')i  with  less  than  $500  capital,  was  sold  to  its  present  proprietors  for 
$100,000  cash  in  18(i7,  and  is  now  held  to  be  worth  not  less  than  a  quarter  of  a 
million  dollars.  These  figures  tell  the  story  of  patience,  of  sound  judgment,  of 
well-directed  energy  and  enterprise,  of  independent  action,  of  fair  dealing,  of 
defence  of  popular  rights,  and  of  strong  hold  in  public  esteem,  more  plainlj- 
than  a  whole  volume  of  words.  It  is  tloubtful,  indeed,  whether  the  history  of 
jovirnalism  anywhere  in  the  world  can  show,  in  all  respects,  a  parallel  to  it. 


THE  HOUSEHOLD,  BRATTLEBORO,  VT. 

A   SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER   EXHIBITION. 


The  Household  has  the  honor  of  being  the  pioneer  in  its  class  of  periodicals, 
It  having  been  the  first,  and,  for  several  years,  the  only  journal  published  in  the 
country  entirely  devoted  to  domestic  affairs.  It  was  founded  in  the  belief  that 
the  literature  previously  furnished  by  the  various  "ladies  magazines  "  and  kin- 
dred publications,  though  occupying  its  appropriate  sphere,  and  well-adapted 
to  the  needs  of  a  large  portion  of  its  readers,  was  not  such  as  to  meet  the  re 
quirements  of  those  earnest  working  women  who  constitute  so  large  a  portion 
of  the  wives  and  daughters  of  our  land,  but  that  they  needed  something  more 
practical  in  its  nature,  whose  tendency  should  be  to  elevate  that  peculiar  labor 
of  caring  for  and  managing  the  family,  known  by  the  general  terra  of"  house- 
work," from  a  mere  drudgery  to  a  science,  and  at  the  same  time  extend  the 
sympathizing  hand  to  those  who  have  a  longing  to  make  their  home  an  index, 
as  it  were,  ot  their  characters— a  reaching  out  for  an  attractiveness  of  surround- 
ings which,  with  much  or  little  expenditure,  according  to  their  means,  shall  at- 
tract and  retain  their  husbands  and  friends,  educate  and  refine  the  boys  grow- 
ing from  j'outh  to  manhood,  and  cultivate  a  love  for  the  good,  the  beautiful  and 
the  true  in  the  daughters  of  the  household,  and  in  this  Avay  to  make  home,  how- 
ever humble,  the  dearest  place  and  the  family  the  happiest  people. 

Such  is  the  aim  and  purpose  of  the  Household,  and  the  generous  and  appre- 
ciative patronage  it  has  received  may  be  taken  as  good  evidence  that  the  faith 
of  its  projectors  was  well  founded,  especially  in  view  of  the  fact  that  unlike 
many,  if  not  all  of  the  successful  journals  of  the  present  day,  it  was  in  no  sense 
a  child  of  fortune,  either  by  birth  or  adoption.  It  is  a  well-known  saying  that 
"  it  takes  a  fortune  to  establish  a  paper,"  and  the  history  of  nearly  every  promi- 
nent periodical  bears  witness  to  its  truth,  they  having  been  founded  or  assisted 
by  capitalists  who  were  enabled  to  bring  to  their  aid  all  the  resources  that 
wealth  can  supply,  and  thus  command  success  from  the  outset.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  Household  was  of  humble  origin,  reared  in  penury  and  schooled  in  the 
hardships  and  privations  incident  to  the  life  of  a  country  printer,  and  it  has 
won  its  way  from  obscurity  to  its  present  position  solely  by  hard  labor  and 
indomitable  perseverance.  Starting  in  January  1868,  with  a  subscription  list  of 
thirteen,  with  no  capital  to  sustain  it,  and  but  little  experience  in  newspaper  life 
to  guide  and  direct  its  hazardous  course,  amid  doubts  and  fears,  gaining  a  little 
firmer  foothold  every  year,  it  has  fully  solved  the  problem  of  success,  has  estab- 
lished itself  upon  a  firm  financial  basis,  and  has  to-day  the  largest  circulation  of 
any  monthly  published  in  New  England.  During  this  time  it  has  twice  been 
enlarged,  four  pages  having  beea  added  to  its  original  sixteen  in  the  earlj"  part 
of  1869,  the  publisher  having  offered  to  make  such  an  enlargement  when  the  cir- 
culation of  the  journal  should  reach  12,000,  and  at  the  same  time  promised  to 
make  another  and  equal  enlargement  when  the  subscription  list  should  number 
20,000.  The  latter  promise  he  was  able  to  redeem  with  the  commencement  of 
the  third  volume,  just  two  years  from  the  time  the  firstnumber  of  the  paper  was 
issued,  and  since  that  time  it  has  contained  twenty-four  large  and  well-filled 
pages,  making  it  considerably  the  largest  dollar  monthly  issued  from  an  Ameri- 
can press. 

Instead  of  being'disposed  of  through  newsdealers,  as  a  large  portion  of  most 
of  the  monthly  publications  are,  the  large  edition  of  the  Household  is  mailed 
almost  entirely  from  the  publishing  office,  and  fills  nearly  a  hundred  of  Uncle 
Sam's  large  mail  sacks  per  month.  These  are  mailed  from  the  middle  to  the 
last  of  the  month  preceeding  the  date  of  issue,  according  to  their  destination, 
those    having  the  farthest  to  go  taking  the  earliest  trains,  which  enables  the 


THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS.  265 

whole  edition  to  reach  its  readers  on  time  and  with  the  regularity  of  clock 
work.  From  the  mailing  table  the  sacks,  weiglied  by  the  post-office  clerks  and 
duly  labelled,  are  delivered  to  the  mail  agents  and  by  them  forwarded  to  every 
State  and  Territory  in  the  Union,  besides  a  large  number  sent  to  foreign  coun- 
tries, from  which  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Household  is  not  a  local  paper  with  a 
circumscribed  field  and  influence,  but  a  cosmopolitan  journal,  adapted  to  all 
sections  of  the  country,  and  is  pretty  generally  found  wherever  there  is  a  repre- 
sentative of  the  class  to  whose  interests  it  is  devoted.  Its  subsei-ibers  are  found 
in  nearly  every  county  in  the  Northern  and  Western  States,  while  in  the  far 
South  and  on  the  Pacific  Coast  its  patrons  are  already  numbered  by  the  thousands. 
It  has  a  large  and  efficientcorps  of  agents,  numbering  many  hundreds,  scattered 
throughout  the  country,  many  of  whom  have  canvassed  for  it  from  its  com- 
mencement, and  it  is  a  remarkable  fact,  and  one,  it  is  believed,  unparalleled  in 
the  history  of  journalism,  that  since  the  first  number  was  issued  not  a  week-day 
has  passed  without  bringing  some  addition  to  its  subscription  list. 

A  good  idea  of  the  character  and  scope  of  the  Household  may  be  derived 
from  a  brief  review  of  the  special  departments  into  which  it  is  arranged.  There 
are  ten  in  number^  corresponding  to  the  apartments  of  a  dwelling,  as  follows  : 
The  Veranda,  the  Drawing  Room,  the  Conservatory,  the  Dressing  Room,  the 
Nursery,  the  Dining  Room,  the  Dispensary,  the  Library,  the  Kitchen,  and  the 
Parlor. 

In  the  Veranda  are  given  the  architectural  notes,  hints  for  out-door  work, 
while  a  lookout  is  kept  upon  the  surroundings  of  the  dwelling,  and  assistance 
given  toward  beautifying  the  premises.  The  Drawing  Room  has  articles  on  the 
art  of  furnishing  the  house,  care  of  furniture,  etiquette,  and  interior  decora 
tions.  In  the  Conservatory  are  gathered  the  pets  of  the  family  in  pots,  cages 
and  aquarium,  and  information  given  upon  all  matters  pertaining  to  their 
treatment,  The  Dressing  Room  contains  a  brief  review  of  the  fashions,  toilet 
recipes  and  practical  suggestions  upon  needle-work  and  kindred  topics.  The 
Nursery  is  devoted  to  the  care  and  management  of  infants  and  children,  and 
furnishes  the  little  folks  with  an  assortment  of  entertaining  reading  and  puzzle 
work.  The  Dining  Room  is  furnished  with  hints  upon  table  etiquette,  the  analy 
sis  of  food,  table  talk,  and  a  column  of  jokes  and  funnygraphs  as  a  "  dessert.'" 
The  sanitary  articles  of  the  Dispensary  are  from  some  of  the  best  writers  in  the 
country,  and  abound  in  valuable  information  concerning  the  care  of  the  sick 
and  the  preservation  of  health.  In  the  Library  literary  and  educational  topics 
are  freely  discussed,  and  there  are  also  notices  and  reviews  of  books  and  current 
publications,  and  a  page  of  original  music  in  every  issue;  as  the  kitchen  is  gen- 
erally the  most  important  room  in  the  house,  so  here  the  Kitchen  is  a  large  and 
well  filled  department,  where  contributions  are  receivevl  each  month  from 
many  of  tee  most  successful  housekeepers  in  all  sections  of  the  country  upon 
the  various  subjects  that  please  or  perplex  their  younger  and  less  experienced 
sisters,  with  a  large  number  of  original  and  well-tried  cooking  recipes,  a  column 
of  "Questions  and  Answers"  upon  all  subjects  pertaining  to  home  life  and 
domestic  economy,  a  fund  of  practical  information  under  the  title  of  "  Chats  in 
the  Kitchen,"  and  a  page  of  "  Letters"  from  the  Household  Board,  which  is  not 
surpassed  in  interest  by  any  other  feature  of  the  paper;  last,  but  not  least,  is  the 
Parlor,  in  which  is  a  choice  collection  of  original  and  selected  stories,  miscel- 
laneous reading,  poetry,  etc.  In  short,  the  Household  is  designed  to  give  aid 
and  sympathy  to  the  housekeeper  in  every  department  of  labor  to  which  she 
may  be  called,  and  especially  in  her  efi*orts  to  make  home  beautiful  and  attrac- 
tive. It  shows  how  this  may  be  done  by  the  simple  taste  and  skill  of  the  house 
wife  in  a  thousand  devices  and  products  of  domestic  ingenuity  for  the  comfort 
of  the  family  and  the  adornment  of  the  dwelling,  while  it  labors  to  promote  the 
sweetness  and  grace  of  true  Avomanhood  in  its  presiding  genius. 

As  an  advertising  medium  the  Household  ranks  among  the  first,  being 
especially  valuable  to  all  who  desire  to  attract  the  attention  of  housekeepers 
and  heads  of  iamilies.  Manufacturers  and  dealers  in  articles  of  domestic  use, 
who  have  used  its  columns  for  years,  frequently  say  that  but  few  papers  equal 
and  none  excel  it  as  a  means  of  extending  their  business.  As  an  illustration  of 
the  estimation  in  which  it  is  held  by  advertisers  who  have  given  it  a  trial,  the

following  extract  from. a  business  letter  from  Messrs.  I.  L.  Cragiu  &  Co.,  of  Phil- 
adelpliia,  the  well-known  manufacturei-s  of  Dobbin's  Electric  Soaps,  may  be 
appropriately  given  here  ■  '•  We  are  hearing  from  the  Household  from  all  parts 
of  the  United  States,  and  don't  think  we  shall  ever  cease  to  patronize  its  adver- 
tising columns.  We  are  in  1,500  papers,  and  it  seems  as  though  half  of  the  letters 
we  get  speak  of  the  Household."  Many  others  of  like  import  might  be  given. 
One  reason  of  ils  popularity  among'advertisers  is  to  be  found  in  the  fact  that 
the  limited  number  of  advertisements  admitted— not  exceeding  four  pages- 
enables  the  publisher  to  sift  out  all  the  doubtful  ones,  and  so  virtually  endorse 
such  as  appear  in  its  columns,  and  this  being  well  known  to  the  readers,  they 
feel  safe  in  giving  their  patronage  to  any  firm  whose  responsibility  is  thus 
vouched  l07',  which  makes  the  space  occupied  highly  profitable  to  its  advertis- 
ing patrons.  The  utmost  care  is  taken  to  exclude  evei-ything  of  a  questionable 
character,  and  nothing  but  what  is  believed  to  be  in  every  respect  entirely  -un- 
exceptionable is  permitted  to  appear  in  its  columns.  The  line  quality  of  the 
paper  upon  which  it  is  printed,  its  clear  type  and  good  press-work,  give  to  the 
advertisements  that  peculiar  prominence  characteristic  of  a  well-printed  page, 
causing  tliem  to  be  easily  seen  and  read.  Then,  too,  unlike  the  majority  of  7iews- 
papers,  which  are  hastily  read  and  soon  forgotten,  it  is  generally  preserved 
through  the  entire  month  for  family  reading,  and  then  quite  frequently  laid 
away  to  be  bound  at  the  close  of  the  volume  and  kept  for  future  reference,  so 
that  it  often  occurs  that  advertisements  are  replied  to  several  years  after  their 
first  appearance.  The  subsci'iption  price  of  the  Household  is  one  dollar  per 
year,  to  which  has  recently  been  added  ten  cents  to  cover  the  postage  now  pre- 
paid by  the  publisher. 


THE  IRON  AGE,  NEW  YORK. 


THE  LARGEST  NEWSPAPER  IN  TPIE  WORLD. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  HOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEAVSPAPKK  KXHIBITION. 


Paring  the  past  twelve  or  flfteen  years  trade  journalism  has  experienced  a 
Biarketl  and  beneflcial  change.  Previous  to  that  time  the  commercial  journal 
was  expected  to  be  in  itself  the  representative  of  all  departments  of  commerce 
and  industry.  When  business  men  were  content  with  a  few  briet  words  of  com- 
ment on  the  condition  of  the  markets  which  interested  them,  and  were  satisfied 
if  they  found  them  after  searching  through  column  after  column  of  matter  which 
had  for  them  only  a  remote  and  general  interest,  the  commercial  newspaper  of 
the  olden  time  filled  a  want.  When  business  became  nrore  speculative,  profits 
smaller,  and  competition  so  close  that  early  and  exact  information  on  all  sub- 
jects of  interest  was  of  value  to  merchants  and  business  men,  the  general  com- 
mercial journals  were  unable  to  meet  the  demand.  Their  field  was  so  extensive 
that  they  could  only  cover  it  in  a  superficial  way ;  their  reporters  and  editors, 
having  to  divide  their  attention  among  a  numlier  of  markets,  could  not  closely 
follow  all  the  changes  in,  or  familiarize  themselves  with  all  the  conditions 
affecting  each.  The  necessity  for  fuller  and  more  exact  information  led  to  the 
establisiiment  of  trade  journals  devoted  to  some  special  business  or  industry, 
and  while  there  are  still  some  general  commercial  journals,  there  are  few  trades 
or  industries  which  are  not  represented  by  class  journals,  whose  columns  are 
lievoted  exclusively  to  the  literature,  statistics  and  prices  current  of  the  trades 
and  markets  which  constitiite  their  special  fields. 

Among  the  first  of  the  special  trade  journals  was  The  Iron  Age.  Established 
in  1S55,  it  is  the  oldest  newspaper  in  the  world  devoted  to  Iron,  Hardware  and 
the  Metal  Trades.  Its  original  title  w^as  the  Hardzoareman's  Newspaper,  but  in 
1859  it  was  changed  to  The  Iron  Age.  The  next  oldest  journal  of  its  class  is  the 
Ironmojiger  of  London,  established  in  1S5'J. 

The  Iron  Age  early  assumed,  and  has  since  maintained,  a  first  position  in 
American  trade  journalism,  and  for  several  years  has  been  the  largest  newspaper 
published  in  this  or  any  countiy.  It  consists  of  forty  pages,  ll/.xlT  inches,  well 
printed  on  good  paper.  Each  number  is  carefully  indexed  for  reading  matter 
and  advertisements;  and  each  copy  is  folded,  stitched  and  cut.  The  area  of 
printed  surface  in  each  weekly  number  measures  54  11-36  square  feet,  being  con- 
siderably larger  than  any  of  the  popular  monthlj^  magazines.  Beside  the 
weekly  edition,  there  are  semi-monthly  and  monthly  editions. 

The  policy  of  the  editorial  management  of  The  Ikon  Age  has  always  been  to 
give  each  issue  an  interest  and  value  for  all  classes  of  its  readers.  As  a  trade 
journal  it  was  the  first  to  give  thorough,  exhaustive  and  exact  reports  of  the 
markets  it  represented,  and  in  carrying  out  this  plan  it  has  practically  revolu- 
tionized commercial  journalism.  To  obtain  the  information  needed  was  at  first 
very  difficult  and  always  very  costly.  To  make  its  reports  complete  and  accu- 
rate it  was  necessary  to  employ  as  reporters  men  of  business  experience,  who 
could  at  any  time  command  large  salaries  as  salesmen;  correspondents  had  to 
be  secured  at  home  and  abroad,  and  branch  offices,  under  the  management  of 
accomplished  journalists,  have  been  established  in  Philadelph  a  and  Pittsburgh 

Among  the  features  of  The  Iron  Age  trade  report  maj'be  mentioned,  weeklj' 
telegrams  from  London,  a  thorough  and  exliaustive  report  on  the  condition  and 
changes  of  price  in  the  American  Hardware  market,  careful  and  accurate  re 
ports  of  the  Iron  and  Metal  market  in  the  principal  cities  of  the  United  States, 
and  condensed  translations  from  the  latest  exchanges,  trade  circulars  and 
private  advices  from  the  priuciiial  metal  markets  of  all  countries  of  the  world 


268  THE  GREAT  XEWSPAPEKS 

These  are  features  never  before  combined  in  a  newspaper  trade  report,  and 
thei'e  are  few  commex-cial  journals  in  the  world  which  could  aflFord  the  large 
annual  expenditure  involved  in  the  maintenance  of  such  a  system. 

In  its  editorial  and  reading  columns  The  Iron  Age  possesses  a  character 
which  is  distinctively  national.  It  is  valuable  as  a  record  of  current  progress  in 
metallurgy,  mechanics,  engineering  and  the  useful  arts,  and  is  conspicuous  for 
the  extent,  variety,  and  interest  of  its  reading  matter.  In  its  editorial  columns 
all  questions  of  current  interest  to  the  iron,  steel,  metal  and  hardware  trades 
are  calmlj^  and  intelligently  discussed,  and  no  space  is  wasted  in  acrimonious 
and  unprofitaljle  disputation  with  other  journals.  Its  acknowledged  position  at 
the  head  of  American  commercial  and  technical  journals  has  been  gained  and 
retained  by  an  unwavering  adherence  to  the  policy  to  making  a  paper  as  valu- 
able and  useful  as  possible,  without  regard  to  cost  or  trouble.  The  re.-ult  has 
been  the  growth  of  a  circulation  larger  than  that  of  any  other  trade  journal  in 
this  country,  or,  we  belifve,  in  the  world,  and  a  large  and  firmly-established 
prosperity,  wliich  the  commerciaJ  and  financial  troubles  of  the  past  three  years 
have  not  even  menaced. 

in  the  amount  of  its  advertising  Tle  Iron  Age  is  a  curiosity  in  journalism. 
This  averages  from  130  to  150  columns,  and  in  a  number  containing  48  pages  it 
has  reached  very  nearly  200  columns.  Its  advertising  pages  are  an  illustrated 
trade  directory  of  exceptional  interest.  This  great  amount  of  adA^ertising  is 
due  to  the  extensive  circulation  of  the  paper  and  the  fact  that  its  rates  of 
advertising  have  always  been  exceptionally  low,  considering  its  circulation 
and  influence.  In  consequence  of  this  policy,  The  Iron  Age  has  gained  a  con- 
stituency of  advertisers  who  find  it  to  their  interest  to  keep  their  advertise- 
ments in  the  paper  without  interruption. 

The  Iron  Age  is  published  every  Thursday  at  10  Warren  street.  New  York, 
by  David  Williams,  publisher  and  proprietor.  James  C.  Eayles  has  been  its 
editor  since  1S71,  aided  by  a  well-selected  staff  of  assistants  and  contributors. 
The  Western  office,  established  at  No.  14  Fifth  avenue,  Pittsburgh,  is  under  the 
management  of  Joseph  ]\[.  Weeks,  formerly  editor  of  the  American  Manufacturer 
of  that  city,  who  is  also  associate  editor,  with  especial  charge  of  Western  iron 
trade  news.  The  Philadelphia  office  is  at  No.  220  South  Fourth  street,  under  the 
management  of  Thomas  Hobson.

COUKIEU-JOUKNAL    BUILDING. 


270  THE  GREAT  I^EWSPAPERS 

The  COUKIKR-JOURNAL  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  is  an  anomaly  in  American 
journalism.  Issued  from  a  city  of  the  sixth  class,  it  is  a  journal  of  the  first 
class.  No  newspaper  in  the  country  has  so  extended  a  range  of  circulation ;  no 
other  is  so  generally  and  widely  quoted.  It  is  both  cosmopolitan  and  provin- 
cial, showing  in  its  make-up  an  unusual  versatility  of  editing.  Its  news  is  col- 
lated in  the  most  minute  and  painstaking  way,  whilst  its  humor,  paragraphic, 
and  otherwise,  is  celebrated  and  popular.  It  is  thoroughly  representative  of 
the  South  and  Southwest,  and  has  come  to  be  considered  a  tolerably  sui*e  indi- 
cator of  public  opinion  in  those  sections. 

The  Courier- Journal  is  the  offspring  of  three  newspapers  which  flourished 
in  Louisville  from  1830  to  186S,  to  wit :  the  Journal,  established  by  George  D. 
Prentice  on  the  24th  of  November,  1830;  the  Courier,  established  by  Walter  N 
Haldeman  June  3,  1844,  and  the  Democrat,  established  by  John  H.  Harney  about 
the  same  time.  These  three  newspapers,  competing  with  each  other  for  nearly 
twenty-five  years,  experienced  the  varying  fortunes  of  the  city  and  the  time; 
but  were  in  the  main  successful.  On  the  Stli  of  November,  1868,  Henry  AVatterson 
having  succeeded  George  D.  Prentice  in  the  managenient  of  the  Journal,  made 
an  arrangement  with  Mr.  Haldeman  tor  a  consolidation.  The  union  effected, 
the  two  journalists  purchased  the  Democrat,  th.royv\\\g  the  three  into  one  under 
the  title  of  the  Courier-Journal. 

In  this  way  they  secured  the  exclusive  telegraphic  franchise  for  the  city  of 
Louisville,  embracing  a  population  of  a  hundred  and  fifty  thousand.  This  is 
the  only  instance  of  the  kind  on  record,  and  will  partly  account  for  the  unex- 
ampled prosperity  of  the  enterprise  so  inaugurated;  for  it  enabled  Messrs. 
Haldeman  and  W^atterson* to  compete  with  the  journals  of  Chicago,  St.  Louis, 
and  Cincinnati,  cities  very  much  larger  than  Louisville.  They  improved  their 
opportunity  with  energy  and  vigor.  The  Courier-Journal  has  now  a  larger  cir- 
culation in  Kentucky,  Indiana,  Tennessee,  Mississippi,  Alabama,  Georgia,  Arkan- 
sas, a,nd  Texas  than  any  of  the  journals  of  those  States.  It  is  sent  into  every  State 
and  Territory  of  the  Union,  and  may  be  found  upon  the  files  of  more  libraries, 
boards  of  trade,  literary  societies,  mercantile  exchanges,  chambers  of  com- 
merce, Young  Men's  Christian  Associations,  hotels  and  club  houses  than  any  of 
its  contemporaries  in  the  Southwest. 

The  COLTtiER-JouRXAL  has  just  erected,  and  now  occupies,  a  newspaper 
building  in  all  respects  the  handsomest  and  most  commodious  in  the  world. 
This  building,  wliich  stands  upon  the  corner  of  Fourth  avenue  and  Green  street, 
the  most  conspicuous  corner  in  the  city  of  Louisville,  has  a  Fourth  avenue 
front  of  165  feet  by  a  depth  of  95  feet,  is  five  stories  high,  with  a  Mansard  roof, 
and  is  furnished  throughout  in  a  style  of  great  magnificence.  It  is  constructed 
of  stone  and  pressed  brick,  and  is  of  rare  architectural  beauty.  Its  principal 
facade  is  ornamented  by  a  marble  statue  of  George  D.  Prentice,  the  founder 
of  the  Journal.  The  composing,  editorial,  and  press  rooms  are  capacious  and 
elegant,  whilst  its  business  is  transacted  in  a  counting-room  unsurpassed  in  size 
and  beauty. 

In  politics  the  Courier-Journal  has  aiwavs  been  Democratic,  but  has  led 
the  liberal  and  advanced  elements  of  that  party,  and  is  at  all  times  thoroughly 
independent. 

The  Courier- JOURXAL  is  a  folio  sheet  30x48  inches  in  size.  Its  forms  are 
.stereotyped,  and  the  paper  is  printed  on  a  double  Bullock  press,  capable  of 
thi-owing  off  upwards  of  20,000  perfect  papers  per  hour. 

The  new  building  and  office  is  supplied  with  all  modern  conveniences  and 
improvements,  such  as  freight  and  passenger  elevators,  steam  engines,  steam 
pumps,  extinguishers,  fire  protectors  and  folding  machines.  Indeed,  every-

THE  INTER-OCEAN,  CHICAGO. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


Westward  the  course  of  journalism  as  well  as  empire  takes  its  way.  Yester- 
tlay  the  great  dailies  of  the  country  belonged  to  New  York  alone.  To-day 
Chicago  contests  and  divides  the  honor,  and  crowds  its  rival  over  the  Eastern 
slope  of  the  Alleghanies. 

It  is  about  six  years  since  Chicago  began  a  newspaper  rivalry  with  New 
York,  but  it  was  not  until  The  Inter  Ocean  was  founded,  in  1S72,  that  a  serious 
attempt  was  made  to  establish  in  the  West  a 

HIGH-TONED  POLITICAL  AND  LITERARY  NEWSPAPER. 
Before  that  the  journals  of  Chicago  were  exclusively  ?tez«spapers.  Their  opinions 
were  little  regarded,  and  their  literary  character  partook  much  of  the  frontier 
order;  the  rough  and  sensational,  instead  of  the  i*efined  and  aesthetic,  were 
sought  after. 

It  was  doubted  whether  a  newspaper  of  a  better  cjiaracter  could  prosper  in 
the  West ;  but  that  doubt  is  removed.  From  its  inception  The  Lntek-Ocean 
appealed  to  the  loftier  instincts  of  the  people,  and  from  the  start  met  with 
generous  encouragement.  It  has  never  been  found  in  the  slums,  nor  is  it 
hawked  about  in  the  disreputable  quarters  of  the  Western  metro i)Olis,  but  goes 
to  the  homes  of  more  reading  and  thinking  people  than  any  other  journal  in 
America. 

IN  CITY  AND  COUNTRY  ALIKE 
it  is  recognize;!  as  the  organ  of  respectability  par  excellence.    To  read  The  Intek- 
Ocean  is  prima  facie  proof  of  intelligence,  and  no  surer  sign  of  cultivation  can 
be  given  than  to  be  known  as  a  regular  subscriber  to  the  great  litei-ary  monitor 
of  the  Northwest. 

The  circulation  of  The  Inter-Ocean  has  increased  with  a  steady  rapiditj^, 
astonishing-  even  its  most  sanguine  friends.  Its  printing  facilities,  large  at  first, 
have  been  from  time  to  time  increased,  and  in  March  of  the  present  year  its 
presses,  including  one  immense  eight-cylinder  Hoe,  were  still  found  inadequate, 
and  contracts  were  closed  with  the  Bullock  Printing  Press  Company  for  two  of 
their  new  perfecting  presses  of  the  latest  pattern,  each  capable  of  printing 
13,000  perfect  sheets  per  hour. 

As  an  indication  of  the  magnitude  of  the  present  circulation  of  the  paper,  it 
is  only  necessary  to  i-efer  to  the  indubitable  evidence  furnished  by  the  post- 
office  returns.  Postage,  by  law,  must  be  paid  in  advance  at  the  office  of  publi 
cation,  and  from  this  official  source  the  actual  facts  regarding  the  circulation  ot 
any  newspaper  through  the  mails  can  be  obtained.  The  evidence  thus  on  file 
shows  that  during  the  year  1875  The  Intek-Ocean 

PAID  IN  POSTAGE  $13,029.84— 
a  sum  equal  to  that  paid  by  all  the  other  political  journals  in  Chicago  combined, 
and  absolutely  unapproached,  with  one  exception,  by  any  other  newspaper  in 
the  United  States. 

This  enormous  circulation  grows  less  wonderful  when  we  take  into  account 
the  character  of  the  people  who  look  to  Chicago  for  their  newspaper  literature. 
Outside  of  a  narrow  strip  of  N-ew  England,  there  is  not  in  the  Union,  according 
to  population,  so  large  a  percentage  of  reading  and  thinking  people  as  inhabit 
the  nine  States  having  Chicago  for  a  commercial  and  financial  centre.  That 
among  so  many  millions  of  thoughtful,  industrious,  and  pi'osperous  people  The 
Inter-Ocean  should  gain  an  extended  foothold  is  not  strange.    The  paper  is  but 


272  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS 

the  i-eflex  of  their  own  thoughts  and  sentim  ^nts,  and  has  become  endeared  to 
the  people  of  the  West  as  a  part  of  themselves. 

Though  Republican  in  politics, 

THE  IXTER-OCEAN^  IS  FRANK  AND  OUTSPOKEN 
on  questions  of  public  policy,  and  its  bold  course  in  this  respect  has  made  its 
name  familiar  thi'oughout  the  country.  Oa  the  Southern  reconstruction,  the 
railway  problem,  and  the  currency  question,  it  has  been  a  law  unto  itself.  Be- 
ginning the  discussion  of  each  of  these  subjects  alone,  it  built  them  up  into 
great  living  national  issues,  commanding  the  attention  of  the  entire  people  and 
press  of  the  country. 

The  flow  of  subscribers  that  set  in  alone  from  the  West,  ere  long  had  its 
counterpart  from  the  East  and  South  also,  until  now  the  tide  has  swept  the  whole 
continent  and  The  Inter-Ocean  embraces  a  constituency  national  in  extent  and 
first  in  wealth  and  culture. 

A  year  or  so  ago  a  distinguished  bishop  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
writing  to  the  New  York /?i(:Ze;^e«denif,  said:  "The  Inter-Ocean  is  the  clearest 
wisest,  and  strongest  of  American  dailies.  It  is  the  true  and  almost  only  suc- 
cessor of  the  great  New  York  Tribune  of  ante-bellum  fame  and  power.  When  it 
circulates  Eastward,  as  the  Greeley  journal  of  yesterday  went  Westward,  we 
shall  feel  and  follow  our  waj'-  out  of  the  lowness  and  guiltiness  and  cowardice 
and  crime  that  now  nationally  envelop  and  /ester  u^." 

The  growing  strength  of  The  Intek-Ocean  in  the  East  shows  that  the  day 
hoped  for  by  the  Bishop  may  not  be  far  away. 

A  PROMINENT  AND  EXCELLENT  FEATURE 
of  the  Inter  Ocean  is  its  reZia6i7%.  This  is  so  marked  as  to  be  frequently  ob- 
servable in  an  amusing  way.  The  past  year  has  been  full  of  svirprises  and  scan- 
dalous exposures.  When  any  ot  these  have  been  made  public  the  demand  for 
The  Intek-Ocean  has  been  most  marked  and  extensive.  The  readers  of  other 
newspapers  have  seemed  to  turn  with  one  accord  to  its  columns  for  a  verifica- 
tion of  such  reports.  The  inquiry  on  all  sides  has  been,  "  What  does  The  Ixter- 
OCEAN  say  ?"  and  by  its  silence,  contradiction,  or  confirmation  has  the  reliability 
or  untrustworthy  chai-acter  of  such  rumors  been  generally  judged. 

CHICAGO  IS  A  NATURAL  ENTREPOT  OF  NEWS. 
More  than  21,000  miles  of  railroad  connect  it  with  the  surrounding  territory,  and 
"Chicago"  appears  in  the  corporate  name  of  fifty  railways.  Twenty  lines 
radiate  from  the  city,  and  more  than  one-half  of  the  entire  population  of  the 
Union  can  be  reached  in  twenty-four  hours  from  this  great  Inter-Oceanic 
metropolis. 

Gradually  but  surely  the  newspapers  of  the  Atlantic  seaboard  are  being 
driven  back  into  their  natural  local  boundries,  while  the  great  central  organs  of 
the  West  push  their  way  North,  and  South,  and  East  in  simultaneous  accord. 

The  star  that  shines  ever  so  brilliantly  on  the  verge  of  a  cycloid  pales  when 
the  centre  is  reached,  and  fades  away  entirely  at  the  antipodean  boundary; 
but  the  centric  sun  distributes  its  radiance  equally,  and  sheds  light  upon  the 
East  and  the  West  alike. 

The  West,  so-called,  is  now  the  center  of  the  Union  and,  with  its  vast 
population,  controls  the  destinies  of  the  Republic.  There  is  but  one  West,  and 
Chicago  is  its  capital.  There  is  only  one  Chicago,  and  The  Inter-Ocean  is  its 
prophet.

''THE  YOUTH'S  COMPANION,"  BOSTON. 


A  SKKICII  FOU  TUB  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIUITIOX. 


FIRST  YOUTH'S  PAPER. 


The  Youth's  Companion  i3  the  pioneer  paper  in  the  juvenile  literature  of  our 
own  country,  and  the  oldest  weeklj--  paper  tor  young  people  in  tlie  world.  It  i> 
now  fortj'-nine  years  of  age,  and  in  a  few  months  will  celebrate  its  semi-centen- 
nial anniversary.  It  was  commenced  in  May,  1827,  by  Nathaniel  Willis,  oj 
Boston,  the  father  of  N.  P.  Willis,  the  poet,  who  also  founded  the  Eastern  Argus 
and  the  Boston  Recorder. 

ORIGIN. 

The  early  history  of  the  paper  is  novel  and  interesting,  and  illustrates  the 
growth  of  an  idea.  Mr.  Willis  having  been  accustomed  to  relate  stories  to  his 
own  children,  as  a  reward  for  committing  to  memorj'^  the  lessons  he  assigned 
them,  was  led  to  see  the  yalue  of  such  literature  in  developing  the  thought 
and  character  of  the  young.  It  suggested  to  him  the  plan  of  having  a  Children's 
Department  in  the  Boston  Recorder.  He  acted  upon  the  suggestion,  the  new 
feature  of  the  paper  became  popular  and  successful,  and  it  has  been  since 
adopted  by  nearly  all  religious  journals. 

The  stories  for  young  people  in  the  Recorder  were  so  eagerly  sought  for,  that 
Mr.  Willis  determined  to  start  what  at  that  time  seemed  a  verj^  novel  enterprise 
—a  paper  exclusively  for  the  young.  A  specimen  number  was  issued  in  May, 
1827,  a  sufficient  number  of  subscribers  was  obtained  to  warrant  its  continuance, 
and,  in  the  month  of  June  following  the  first  weekly  paper  for  young-  people 
began  its  successful  career. 

The  sheet  was  a  very  small  one,  hardly  larger  than  an  old-fashioned  pane  ot 
glass,  the  type  was  large  and  coarse,  and  the  single  picture  it  contained  would 
now  bring  a  smile  to  the  face  of  the  most  inartistic  reader.  But,  though  coarse 
in  appearance,  its  literary  material,  like  the  old  JST.  E.^ Family  Magazine,  was 
usually  of  a  high  order,  indicating  excellent  taste  and  judgment.  It  attained  a 
circulation  of  about  5,000  copies. 

FORD  &  OLMSTEAD. 

For  many  years  the  Companion  published  under  its  name  the  information, 
in  one  long  line,  that  it  was  issued  •'  by  Nathaniel  Willis,  weekly,  at  No.  11 
€ornhill,  office  of  the  Boston  Recorder,  at  one  dollar  a  year."  In  1857  Mr.  Willis' 
health  having  become  impaired  by  advanced  ago,  the  paper  was  purchased  by 
Messrs.  Ford  and  Olmstead,  proprietors  of  the  Watchman  and  Reflector,  and 
published  under  the  firm  of  Olmstead  &  Co.  The  editing  of  it  passed  into  the 
hands  of  Mr.  D.  S.  Ford,  who  is  now  its  editor,  and  since  the  year  1867  has  been 
its  sole  proprietor.  Mr.  Willis,  its  founder,  died  in  1870,  in  the  91st  year  of 
his  age. 

ENLARGEMENT  AND  GROWTH. 

The  little  paper  had  made  for  itself  a  good  reputation  and  character.  Its 
new  editor  enlarged  it  in  size,  and  aimed  to  give  it  a  higher  literary  value.  Its 
articles  took  a  wider  range,  very  engaging  writers  were  secured,  and  the  circula- 
tion under  this  impetus  began  to  rapidly  increase.  In  a  few  years  its  subscrip- 
tion list  grew  from  5,000  to  40,000  names. 

RAPID  INCREASE. 

The  increase  in  resources  was  followed  hy  a  corresponding  increase  in  the 

literary  value  of  its  contents.    It  became  the  aim  of  its  editor,  after  the  model  of 

Chambers^  Journal,  to  furnish   the  best  reading  at  a  comparatively  small  cost. 

The  paper  was  again  enlarged,  new  literary  departments  were  formed,  emi- 


THE  GREAT  :^^E^YSPAPERS 


iient  contributors  were  secured,  and  its  editorials  were  prepared  by  the  most 
capable  city  editors.    In  1870  its  subscription  list  reached  70,000. 

A  FAMILY  PAPER. 

From  about  this  time  the  character  of  the  paper  underwent  a  change,  and 
it  became  both  a  literary  journal  for  the  young  and  for  the  family.  Its  storie.'; 
adapted  themselves  to  the  tastes  of  a  larger  audience  of  readers;  its  articles  on 
current  topics  were  so  prepared  as  to  be  interesting  to  the  cultivate  1  and 
critical  as  well  as  to  the  young.  The  wants  of  the  family  from  the  youngest 
to  the  oldest  were  considered,  and  the  purest  and  the  most  entertaining  writers 
were  employed  to  meet  these  wants. 

ONE  HUNDRED  AND  FORTY  THOUSAND  SUBSCRIBERS. 
Nothing  is  so  successful  as  success,  or  more  trustworthy  than  success  gained 
by  a  well-directed  purpose  and  a  generous  and  liberal  aim. 


is  now  a  tbirty-two  column  paper,  and  has  a  circulation  of  140,000  copies 
weekly.  Many  of  the  parents  who  subscribe  for  it  for  their  families  to-day  were 
readers  of  it  when  they  themselves  were  boys  and  girls.  The  paper  holds  from 
year  to  year  the  great  body  of  its  old  subscribers,  and  adds  to  these  a  yearly 
list  of  new  names  which  many  publishers  would  consider  a  liberal  subscrip- 
tion list. 

ITS  ARTICLES  AND  WRITERS. 
The  CoiiPANiox  publishes  three  or  four  serial  stories,  some  two  hundred 
shorter  stories,  more  than  two  hundred  editorials,  and  more  than  fifteen  hun- 
dred shorter  articles,  selections,  poems,  etc.,  each  year.  It  employs  some  fifty 
contributors.  Among  these  are  the  well-known  names  of  J.  T.  Trowbridge, 
Edward  Eggleston,  Rev.  E.  E.  Hale,  Rev.  Wm.  M,  Baker,  Hon.  C.  C.  Hazewell, 
Geo.  M.  Towle,  Esq.,  Mrs.  Leonowens,  Miss  L.  M.  Alcott,  Mrs.  H.  P.  Spofford,  Mrs. 
Rebecca  Harding  Davis,  Celia  Thaxter,  Mrs.  Moulton,  and  Mrs.  Diaz.  Among  oc- 
casional or  promised  writers  are  Wm.  Cullen  Brj-ant,  Dr.  Hayes,  Hon.  Schuyler 
Colfax,  etc.  Its  editorial  department  is  managed  in  a  very  careful  and  critical 
manner,  the  articles  on  literature,  science,  and  politics  being  prepared  by  gentle- 
men who  have  special  and  exceptional  fitness  for  the  work.

-187; 


Nearly  fifty  years  of  its  history  have  passed,  and  one  generation  has  already 
handed  the  paper  to  another.  To  give  the  faces  at  the  fireside  a  warmer  glow ;  to 
create  character  and  intelligence;  to  publish  nothing  of  which  the  infiuence 
will  not  be  good;  to  honor  God,  and  to  bring  stainless  and  hallowed  memories 
out  of  all  the  relations  of  the  family  and  daily  life,  will  be  its  aim  in  1877,  as  it 
was  in  its  origin  fifty  years  ago. 


THE  REPUBLICAN,  SPRINGFIELD,  MASS. 


A  SKETCH   FOR  THE   BOOK  OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Springfield  (Mass.)  Republican,  established  in  ISM,  has  become  the  lead- 
ing and  representative  paper  of  New  England,  and  the  first  provincial  paper  in 
America. 

A  Whig  journal  in  the  days  of  the  old  Whig  party,  it  was  first  and  conspicu- 
ous in  the  formation  of  the  republican  party;  but  since  that  party's  great  work 
wa.s  completed,  the  paper  has  grown  steadily  into  a  position  of  entire  political 
independencj',  and  made  itself  a  leader  in  the  press  of  the  countrj'^  for  sectional 
reconciliation  and  administrative  reform. 

The  Republican  now  ranks,  practically,  as  the  independent  journal  of  New 
England;  the  advocate  of  honesty  and  reform  in  government,  honor  and  purity 
in  politics,  economy  and  simplicity  in  public  and  private  life;  the  slave  of  no 
party,  the  organ  of  no  politician ;  an  honest  paper  for  honest  people. 

As  a  newspaper,  the  Republican  cherishes  the  qualities  which  have  made  it 
popular  and  powerful — promptness,  clearness,  brevity,  and  comprehensiveness, 
regarding  the  development  of  thought,  the  difference  of  opinion  and  the  dis- 
coveries of  science,  equally  as  news  with  current  accidents  and  crimes,  and 
giving  especial  attention  to  the  record  of  e^-ents  and  the  progress  of  life  in  New 
England.  As  a  public  journal,  it  is  all-embracing  in  its  field  of  discussion  and 
selection,  and  independent  and  thoughtful  in  its  treatment  of  all  current  topics, 
and  aiming  to  make  for  itself  both  a  welcome  and  useful  place  as  an  instructor, 
a  critic,  and  a  stimulant  in  every  family  that  adopts  it. 

Published  both  daily  and  weekly,  the  Weekly  Republicax  is  made  up  with 
especial  care  for  a  general  circulation,  and  maj' fairly  claim  to  be  the  best  eclec- 
tic weekly  newspaper  in  the  country.  It  offers  itself  especially  to  politicians 
and  scholars,  to  New  Euglanders  at  home  or  in  distant  parts  of  the  countrj^ 
and  to  Americans  abroad,  as  giving,  in  a  single  sheet,  a  more  comprehensive 
and  impartial  summaiy  of  general  New  England  and  American  news,  and 
fuller  and  more  independent  discussions  of  all  prominent  topics  of  American 
life,  and  a  more  varied  picture  of  our  literary,  art  and  social  progress  than  can 
be  found  anj-where  else. 

The  Republican  is  printed  on  a  large  double  sheet  of  eight  pages,  fortj^ 
eight  columns.  The  daily  is  three  cents  a  copy,  seventy-five  cents  a  month,  and 
$9  a  year;  the  weekly  is  five  cents  a  copy,  §2  a  year,  and  $1.50  in  clubs  of  five  or 
more. 

As  an  advertising  medium,  the  Republican  presents  peculiar  advantages  in 
the  amount,  character  and  field  of  its  circulation  and  the  low  rates  charged. 
The  Daily  Republican  has  a  firm  circulation  of  11,000  copies,  which  is  as  many 
or  more  than  is  printed  by  any  daily  paper  in  Boston  save  two;  two  or  three 
times  as  many  as  hy  any  other  paper  in  Massachusetts  out  of  Boston,  or  in  Con- 
necticut; and  larger  than  by  any  other  provincial  paper  in  the  country.  In  all 
western  Massachusetts  and  up  and  down  the  Connecticut  valley,  it  circulates 
more  largely  than  all  other  daily  jiapers  together;  while  in  more  distant  parts  of 
New  England,  in  "N'crmont  and  Connecticut  especially'',  both  the  dailj'  and  Aveekly 
have  exceptionally  numerous  readers  among  the  most  intelligent  and  infiuential 
members  of  society. 

The  terms  of  advertising— low,  uniform  and  for  cash— are  fl-\-e  cents  a  line  of 
eight  words,  each  insertion,  in  the  daily,  and  twelve  cents  a  line  in  the  weekly. 
Special  or  displayed  notices,  ten  cents  aline  of  space  in  the  daily  and  twenty 
cents  in  the  weeklj-.    Address  the  RiiPUBLiCAN,  Springfield,  Mass. 


THE  PHILADELPHIA  PRESS. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CEXTEXXIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Philadelphia  Press  was  founded  on  the  1st  of  August,  1857.  It  was  the 
creation  of  John  W.  Forney,  who  has  liguered  for  more  than  thirty  years  in  pub- 
lic life,  and  who  is  the  last  member  of  the  great  quartette  that  once  dominated 
American  journalism— Greeley,  Bennett,  Raymond  and  Forney,  and  -who,  with  a 
single  exception,  have  surrendered  their  pens  and  lives.  The  history  of  The 
Press  is  nearly  that  of  Mr.  Forney.  He  was  its  originator,  and  he  has  been  its 
guiding  spirit.  In  1857  Mr.  Forney,  who  had  already  achieved  national  distinc- 
tion as  a  journalist,  and  as  an  earnest  worker  in  the  ranks  of  the  Democi*atic 
party,  who  had  edited  its  national  organs  and  led  its  army  of  voters  to  victory 
in  the  doubtful  and  Keystone  State,  became  disgusted  with  its  management  and 
distrustful  of  its  purposes.  A  Democrat  by  conviction,  but  of  the  old  and  better 
school,  and  a  disciplinarian  by  habit,  he  sought  in  the  establishment  of  The 
Press  to  reform  his  party  within  its  own  lines,  to  win  it  back  to  its  original 
principles,  and  to  save  it  from  its  enemies  in  its  own  household.  The  sequel  of 
that  determined  struggle  is  well  remembered.  The  fight  was  a  gallant  one,  but 
the  results  were  not  those  for  which  the  editor  hoped.  He  builded  better,  how- 
ever, than  he  knew  and  it  was  through  his  efforts  and  those  of  the  brave  Doug- 
lass Democrats  who  co-oporated  with  him,  that  the  Republican  partj^  was  con- 
solidated for  victory,  .Abraham  Lincoln  elected,  and  the  nation  newly  born  and 
baptized  in  the  blood  which  has  purified  it  from  the  great  sin  of  slavery.  The 
subsequent  history  of  the  newspaper  of  which  he  was  the  founder,  and  is  still 
tlie  active  editor  and  proprietor,  is  well  known.  It  is  as  it  has  been  since  1860, 
an  ardent  and  consistent  advocate  of  Republican  principles,  but  its  party 
fidelity  has  never  been  subordinated  to  its  personal  sense  of  duty,  and  while  its 
loyalty  to  the  party  and  principles  it  prefers  is  not  questioned.  The  Press  has 
never  hesitated  to  speak  out  boldly  against  the  mistakes  and  corruptions  of  its 
political  friends. 

As  a  newspaper  The  Press  is  without  arival  in  Pennsylvania.  In  the  extent 
of  its  correspondence,  the  multiplicity  of  its  genius  and  the  amplitude  of  its 
resources,  it  has  no  competitor.  Its  founder,  John  W.  Forney,  is  at  its  head, 
and  its  ability  is  unquestioned.  It  is  dignified  in  its  discussions,  but  where 
denunciation  is  merited  and  necessary,  it  is  unsparing.  Sensationalism  is  a 
stranger  to  its  columns,  even  while  it  prints  all  the  news  of  the  day,  while  it 
does  not  mince  matters  as  a  rule,  it  always  supplies  the  knife  where  it  deems  it 
necessary. 

The  Press  enjoys  a  large  circulation  and  extensive  business  patronage  from 
the  very  best  circle  of  readers— people  of  intelligence  and  means— who  find  it 
tb.o  only  medium  which  supplies  their  wants  and  the  best  guide  to  their  pur- 
chases.  It  was  never  more  prosperous  than  at  present,  and  its  circulation  is 
constantly  increasing.  It  is  recognized  as  the  Journal  of  the  Centennial  Ex- 
position as  clearly  as  if  the  Commission  had  issued  a  proclamation  to  that 
effect,  and  the  influence  of  this  upon  its  gi'owih  is  attested  by  its  rapid  rise  in 
circulation  since  that  great  enterprise  became  a  fixture. 

For  the  centennial  year  The  Press  has  been  completely  reorganized,  and 
with  its  founder  at  its  head,  has  a  staff  of  writers  and  contributors  unequaled 
by  that  of  any  Philadelphia  journal.  Mr.  Forney's  vigorous  pen  is  daily  seen 
in  its  columns,  and  among  his  associate  editors  are  Dr.  R.  Shelton  ^lackenzie, 
who  has  a  literary  reputation  second  to  that  of  no  other  journalist  in  the  country, 
Mr.  Thomas  Meehan,  the  scholar  and  scientist,  Mr.  John  W.  Forney,  Jr.,  well 
known  as  dramatic  critic,  Mr.  Audubon  Davis,  who  has  been  connected  in 
various  capacites  with  many  of  the  leading  Journals  of  the  country,  and  Messrs.

THE  CHRISTIAN  UNION,  NEW  YORK. 


HENRY  WARD  EEECHER,  EDITOR. 


A   SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK   OF  THE   CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Christian  Union  was  established  in  September,  1869,  and  is  therefore 
one  of  tlie  youngest  of  the  religious  weeklies. 

From  its  commencement  the  association  of  Rev.  Heniy  Ward  Beecher  with 
it  as  editor  gave  it  a  strong  impetus,  and  it  sprang  rapidly  into  favor.  In  a 
very  few  years  it  attained  a  circulation  of  thirty  thousand  subscribers,  when 
by  the  introduction  of  chromo  premiums,  then  a  novelty  (but  since  discon- 
finuedbythe  paper),  the  circulation  was  increased  in  a  few  months  to  the  un- 
precedented number  of  one  hundred  and  thirty-two  thousand,  extending  to 
every  State  and  Territory  in  the  Union,  to  the  Canada^,  and  indeed  to  every 
quarter  of  the  globe. 

As  the  medium  of  Mr.  Beecher's  "Lecture  Room  Talks,"  editorials  and 
articles  of  a  general  nature,  the  paper  was  warmly  received  by  all  classes, 
and  still  maintains  its  strong  hold  upon  the  Christian  public.  Its  has  been 
neither  sectarian  nor  actively  controversial.  Its  past  and  present  position 
can  best  be  described  in  Mr.  Beecher's  own  language.     He  wrote : 

"The  Christian  Un'IOX  will  seek  the  Union  of  all  Christians,  not  by  chasing 
the  phantom  of  an  organic  unity,  but  bj'  promoting  such  dispositions  of  charity 
and  kindly  sympathy  as  shall  bting  men  of  whatever  mode  of  worship  into  a 
real  sympathetic  relation  witli  each  other. 

It  will  recognize  the  existence  and  importance  of  Christian  doctrine,  but  it 
Avill  not  admit  any  human  statement  ot  doctrine  to  b3  inspired  or  autlaoritative, 
but  to  be  always  open  to  new  thought,  criticism  and  reconstruction.  It  will 
regard  no  doctrine  as  fundamental  unless  it  is  indispensable  to  the  formation  of 
Christian  character.  D.-.ctrines  may  be  fundamental  to  th  ;  striTCture  of  a  given 
system  of  theology;,  which  are  quite  unimportant  in  the  formation  of  Christian 
liabits  and  dispositions. 

Believing  that  the  Sacred  Scriptures  represent  the  Gospel,  not  simply  as  an 
accomplished  and  external  history,  but  as  the  i)isclosure  of  Divine  Power, 
forever  active,  and  unfolding  itself  in  tlie  experience  of  God's  people,  through 
ail  generations,  Ave  shall  interpret  the  spirit  and  text  of  Scripture  not  alone  by 
the  laws  of  language,  but  by  the  experiences  of  the  Cluirch,  and  by  all  the  dis- 
closures of  Divine  J'rovidence  in  human  societj'. 

Whatever  throws  light  upon  the  structure  of  the  body,  the  nature  of  human 
1'aculties,  the  divine  method  of  creation  and  dev.^iopment  of  human  life  and 
society,  we  shall  believe  to  be  included  in  Cl)r;stianity,  as  trees  are  included  in 
the  seeds  from  which  tiicy  grow.  Whatever  in  tiie  whole  range  of  science,  and 
in  the  results  of  art,  promotes  the  welfare  of  mankind ;  whatever  in  political 
economy  augments  the  productive  forces  of  society- ;  whatever  in  politics  tends 
to  purify  tlie  State,  destroy  its  enemies,  exait  flie  government  in  wisdom, 
fldelity,  and  b  'nigiiity,  we  shall  regard  as  a  part  of  that  great  development  to 
which  the  name  of  Christ  will  be  forever  joined,  who  is  the  divine  fountain 
from  whence  flows  the  vital  influence  by  which  mankind  are  to  be  exalted  from 
animalism  to  Christian  manhood.  Above  all  material  laws,  and  behind  all 
sensuous  instruments,  is  a  Living  Soul.  We  receive  devoutly  records  and 
revelations  of  the  truth  wrought  out  in  luunan  life  and  experience  bj^  that 
Soul  in  the  past,  and  with  a  quick  sensibility  we  shall  listen  to  every  disclosure 
of  God's  ti'uih  which  he  is  m;d<ing  through  all  avenues  in  our  own  day. 

It  is  the  pui'pose  of  the  Christian  Union,  'as  much  as  lieth  in  it,'  to  avoid 
controversy  But  wlieu  it  is  unavoidable  it  will  'do  with  its  might  what  its 
iiands  shall  find  to  do.'  But  its  chief  endeavor  will  l)e  to  secure  good,  in  the 
household,  the  Church,  and  the  State,  by  the  genial  and  kindly  forces  of  Chris- 
tianity. Conscience,  without  benignant  sympathies,  is  unchristian.  A  high 
ideal  of  human  life  and  society,  enforced  by  a  cold  and  severe  criticism  which 
disdains  all  human  weaknesses  and  infirmities,  is  less  vulgar  than  ribald 
scofiing,  but  is  none  the  less  tyrannic  and  Satanic. 

While  generous  critici.--m  of  tiie  views  and  practices  of  all  sects,  parties  and 
persons  will  not  be  disallowed,  it  is  tlie  purpose  of  this  oaper,  in  all  ways,  to 
bring  men's  hearts  together.  It  will  earnestly  strive  to  encourage  good  Avorks 
in  all  sects,  to  rejoice  in  the  prosperity  of  each  denomination;  to  cover  their 
faults  rather  than  to  proclaim  them;  to  be  generously  just;  to  avoid  all  spite 


280  THE  GREAT  :N;EWSPAPERS 


and  malice  toward  enemies;  to  resist  all  influences  which  tend  to  separate  men 
from  each  other;  to  promote  kindness  and  sympathy  hetween  unlike  men;  not 
to  di.'Owu  severity  of  rebuke,  and  yet  mainly  to  overcome  evil  witli  good;  to 
promote  cheerfulness  and  innocent  mirth  ;  to  give  to  conscience  an  atmosphere 
of  benevolence  ;  to  inspii-e  hope,  courage,  and  love  in  every  household.  It  will, 
in  short,  seek  to  diffuse  that  Gospel,  whose  annunciation  was,  'Good  Will  to 
Men,'  whose  Author  and  Hero  sacrificed  his  own  life  to  save  mankind,  and 
whose  God  and  Father  is  named  Love."

The  pages  ot  the  Christian  Union  are  never  soiled  by  advertisements  of  a 
doubtful  character.  Neither  does  it  knowingly  admit  blind  advertisements 
intended  to  decoy,  mislead,  and  defraud  the  innocent.  No  advertisement  is 
received  which  cannot  be  read  aloud  in  the  household  without  invidious  com- 
ment. All  advertisements  are  carefully  examined,  and  their  character  known 
to  the  publisher  before  insertion.  Its  value  as  an  advertising  medium  has 
been  very  fullj^  tested  by'  the  most  prominent  advertisers  in  this  country. 
Their  statements  have  frequently  appeared  in  its  columns;  but  a  better  attesta- 
tion of  its  merit  is  the  fact  that  it  has  retained  many  of  them  during  all  the 
financial  distress  of  the  past  two  years,  and  is  still  receiving  their  constant 
patronage.  The  fact,  too,  that  its  columns  are  continually  employed  by  the  best- 
known  and  most  influential  advertisinrj  agencies  and  advertisers  in  the  land.  i> 
additional  evidence  of  the  excellent  and  remunerative  character  of  the  circu- 
lation. 

The  present  publisher  is  Horatio  C.  King,  and  the  office  of  the  company  is 
at  No.  27  Park  Place,  New  York. 


THE  CINCINNATI  GAZETTE,  CINCINNATI,  0, 

ESTABLISHED    l"i)3. 

A  SKETCH    FOR  THE  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


The  Cincinnati  Gazette  has  been  in  existence  eighty-three  years.  Cincinnati 
was  at  that  time  merely  a  frontier  village  of  a  few  hun.lre.l  inhabitants.  Now  it  is 
one  of  the  important  and  prosperous  cities  of  the  country- the  centre  of  its  popu- 
lation, and  the  heart  of  the  continent. 

The  Gazette's  growth  aptly  illustrates  the  general  growth  of  American  jour- 
nalism, for  no  paper  of  equal  age  has  attained  a  similar  circulation  and  celebrity. 
The  most  material  change  thus  denoted  is  that  in  the  cost  and  revenues  of  leading 
papers.  As  lately  as  IS.IO  the  entire  yearly  receipts  of  the  Gazette  for  subscriptions 
would  not  have  equalized  the  present  expenditure  for  correspondence  by  telegraph 
and  mail.  The  labor  of  half  a  dozen  persons  then  sufficed  for  the  editorial  work, 
while  the  expense  of  correspondents  was  seldom  incurred.  Now  the  editors,  re- 
l)orters,  and  correspondents  of  the  Gazette  are  numbered  by  hundreds,  and  it  has 
a  representative  in  every  leading  city  of  either  hemisphere.  Its  other  disburse- 
ments have  augmented  in  the  same  degree,  being  measured  by  the  public  demands 
and  expectations,  and  compensated  by  its  ever  increasing  patronage.  A  long  and 
firmly-established  paper's  expenses  are  regulated  by  its  circulation,  and  the  latter 
is  effected  only  by  the  matter  of  brains,  business  enterprise,  and  density  of  popu- 
lation. The  city  of  Cincinnati  is  notably  superior  in  its  intelligence,  and  exacting  in 
newspaper  requirements,  while  the  contiguous  country  upon  all  sides  is  thickly 
populated.  Its  newspaper  standard  is,  therefore,  above  the  average,  and  confers 
upon  the  paper  that  acceptably  fills  its  requirements  a  superior  character  and 
circulation. 

The  changes  in  the  publication  department  of  the  Gazette  are  Avorthy  of  notice. 
The  first  "power  press"  used  West  of  the  Allegheny  mountains  was  bought  by  it. 
It  cost  twelve  hundred  dollars-a  very  large  outlay  for  the  purpose  in  that  early  day. 
The  wheel  that  moved  the  machinery  was  turned  by  a  single  man.  Its  hourly 
capacity  was  <S00  sheets,  printed  on  one  side,  and  to  furnish  that  number  of  complete 
papers  required  two  hours.  The  same  person  who  turned  the  wheel  of  that  press 
is  still  employed  in  the  office  on  the  new  Hoe  Terfecting  Double  Press,  which  has  a 
self-feeding  capacity  of  28,000  sheets  per  hour,  printed  on  both  sides.  It  is  the 
fastest  press  in  the  world.  In  sixty  minutes  it  does  as  much  and  better  work  than 
the  first  power  press  could  do  in  seventy  hours.  The  machinery  and  appliances  in 
existence  thirty  years  ago  could  not  have  accomplished  in  a  week  the  work  now 
done  in  a  single  day  in  any  large  newspaper  office.  A  century  ago  it  could  not  have 
been  accomplished  at  all. 

The  Gazette  has  three  editions— daily,  semi-weekly,  and  weekly— printed  from 
stereotype  plates.  There  are  printed  weekly  an  aggregate  of  160,000  papers,  which 
are  read  by  a  half  million  of  people  distributed  throughout  Ohio,  Indiana,  Michigan, 
Kentucky,  Tennessee,  and  West  Virginia.  The  annual  issues  of  the  paper  aggregate 
about  8,000,000,  and  the  paper  thus  used,  if  in  a  continuous  sheet,  would  reach  over 
5,000  miles.  The  vast  business  thus  indicated  has  mainly  grown  up  within  a  third  ol 
a  century,  for  prior  to  1810,  Cincinnati's  newspaper  traffic  was  trifiing.  In  183.=) 
the  Gazette's  aggregate  circulation  did  not  exceed  1,200  copies,  while  at  the 
present  time  thes^e  figures  barely  cover  the  mere  occasional  fluctuations,  within  a 
few  days,  in  its  circulation.    The  bed  of  the  old  stream  is  but  the  margin  of  the 

new. 

As  a  complete  American  newspaper  the  Cincinnati  Gazette  has  no  superior. 
Its  ability  and  its  integrity  are  recognized  and  unquestioned.    It  has  a  national 


282  THE  GREAT  NEWSPAPERS. 

reputation  for  its  fearlessness  no  less  than  for  its  fairness  in  the  discussion  of  matters 
of  political  and  public  policy.  As  a  commercial  paper  it  has  been  regarded  as  a 
standard  for  over  twenty-flve  years.  It  has  aimed  for  over  half  a  century  to  fully 
satisfy  the  demand  for  a  pai)er  -wholly  acceptable  to  the  cultured  and  active  business 
classes  of  its  section,  and  it  has  succeeded.  In  a  j)opulation  older,  more  advanced 
and  denser  than  can  be  found  in  any  other  part  of  the  West,  it  is  undeniably  the 
leading  paper  in  character,  in  inlluence  and  in  circulation. 

The  weekly  edition  of  the  Gazette  is  one  of  the  most  widely-circulated  family 
and  agricultural  papers.  Its  agricultural  value  is  seen  in  its  abundant  correspond- 
ence from  practical  farmers,  who  make  it  their  medium  for  the  exchange  of  views 
and  intelligence.  Of  literature  it  is  not  unmindful.  Great  prominence  is  given  to 
reviews  of  new  publications,  and  to  scientific,  social  and  religious  movements.  It 
contains  more  reading  matter  than  any  other  Cincinnati  paper,  and  the  character  of 
its  contents  precludes  a  comparison  with  the  pretentious  but  Avorthless  and  transi- 
tory mushrooms  of  the  journalistic  field.  It  has  more  than  3,000  regular  club  agents, 
and  is  sent  to  subscribers  at  over  4,000  post-ofiices  throughout  the  land. 

The  Gazette's  publication  building,  on  the  northeast  corner  of  Fourth  and 
Yme  streets,  was  bought  by  its  proprietors  fifteen  years  ago,  and  is  now  the  most 
valuable  corner  in  the  city.  Except  a  small  part  of  the  first  floor,  the  entire  edifice 
is  devoted  to  the  business  of  the  Gazette,  and  recently  the  latter  Avas  obliged  to 
secure  additional  space  in  a  contiguous  building.  The  Eastern  office  of  the  paper  is 
at  No.  37  Tribune  Building,  New  York  city. 

In  proportion  to  its  circulation,  and  to  the  manifest  value  of  the  latter  to  adver- 
tisers, the  Gazette  rates  are  the  lowest  in  Cincinnati.  Its  columns  have  uniformly 
been  preferred  by  foreign  advertisers  to  those  of  any  neighboring  cotemporary,  and 
for  a  long  time  no  other  Cincinnati  paper  has  enjoyed  an  equal  revenue  from  dis- 
tant sources.

The  Philadelphia  Democrat  was  established  l!:J"S  as  a  daily  German  news- 
paper by  j\[r.  L.  A.  Wottenweber.  Like  all  its  contemporaries  of  that  time,  it  was 
of  humble  origin,  and  made  but  slow  progress  until  the  events  of  1S4S  brought 
about  that  great  tidal-wave  of  German  immigration  to  our  shores,  which  continued 
with  undiminished  force  till  the  beginning  of  our  civil  war,  and  greatly  changed  the 
character  and  the  status  of  the  German  element  in  the  United  States,  making  it 
much  more  inlluential,  not  only  l)y  more  than  trebling  it  m  numbers,  but  by  adding 
to  it  by  thousands  highly-educated  Germans,  who,  having  joined  the  revolutionary 
movement,  had,  after  its  defeat,  to  seek  refuge  abroad,  which  most  of  them  sought 
and  found  in  the  United  States.  At  the  beginning  of  that  ])eriod  the  Democrat 
came  by  purchase  under  the  control  and  management  of  Messrs.  John  S.  Hoffman 
and  Dr.  E.  Morwitz,  who,  under  the  firm  name  of  Hoffman  &  Morwitz,  at  once  in- 
fused new  life  into  it  and  made  it  one  of  the  leading  and  most  inlluential  newspapers 
in  the  United  States.  When  the  I'mLADELVHiA  Democrat  was  established  it  was 
located  in  the  then  centre  of  the  German  population  of  the  city,  but  after  the  year 
1848  the  German  element  was  spreading  over  the  whole  city,  and  besides,  it  became 
of  more  importance  to  be  located  in  the  business  centre  of  the  city.  With  this  view 
the  proprietors  purchased  a  most  eligible  site  on  Chestnut  street— the  old  Jones 
hotel— and  by  extensive  alterations,  amounting  almost  to  rebuilding,  made  it  one 
of  the  best-arranged  newspaper  establishments  and  printing  houses  m  the  country.

The  building  is  five  stories  high,  and  has  a  front  of  flfty-five  feet  on  Chestnut  street 
and  a  depth  of  245  feet  to  Sansom  street. 

From  the  removal  of  the  Philadelphia  Democrat  to  its  new  office  building, 
«12  and  614  Chestnut  street,  may  be  dated  a  new  era  for  it,  so  rapidly  were  extended 
its  circulation  and  its  business  patronage.  Mr.  Hoffman  leaving  for  Europe  in  1S73, 
the  proprietor.  Dr.  aiorwitz,  changed  the  name  of  the  firm  to  Morwitz  &  Co. 

The  Demockat  is  the  leading  German  organ  in  Pennsylvania,  one  of  the  oldest 
and  largest  eastern  States,  and  the  one  which,  from  the  beginning,  was  settled 
and  influenced  by  Germans,  from  whose  settlements  most  of  the  Western  States  have 
received  and  are  still  receiving,  year  by  year,  their  solid  native  immigration, 
whereby  the  circulation  and  business  of  the  Democrat  have  been  constantly,  nat- 
urally, and  largely  increased,  until  now  the  circulation  and  influence  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Democrat,  in  its  various  publications— daily,  weekly,  Sunday  and  others- 
are  by  the  great  public  regarded  and  appreciated  as  the  largest  and  most  imi.c.rtant 
of  the  German  newspapers  in  the  United  States.

THE  PIOXEER.PEESS  AND  TRIBUNE  BUILDING. 

Ill  no  direction  has  the  marvellous  progress  of  the  West  iu  the  last  fifteen  years 
been  more  distinctly  marked  than  in  its  journalism;  but  not  even  the  marvellous 
growth  of  the  Chicago  newspapers,  which  equal  if  they  do  not  surpass  those  of  New 
York  in  all  the  characteristics  of  the  first-class  metropolitan  newspaper,  affords  a 
more  strikiug  illustration  of  the  journalistic  development  of  the  West  than  the  news- 
pajicr  which  lias  recently  assumed  the  title  at  the  head  of  this  article.  As  its  name 
indicates,  it  is  the  product  of  the  consolidation  ot  tlie  three  old  morning  dailies  of  St. 
Paul  and  Minneapolis.  The  St.  Paul  Pioneer,  established  in  184'.),  and  whose  history 
dated  back  to  the  organization  of  the  Territory  of  Minnesota,  was  consolidated  in  the 
Spring  of  1S75  with  the  St.  Paul  Prcs.s,  which  since  18G1  has  been  the  leading  Republi- 
can journal  of  the  State.  In  May  last  the  Pioneer-Press  was  again  consolidated  with 
the  Minneapolis  Tribune,  whicli  was  founded  in  1SG5— and  these  three  journals  had 
previously  swallowed  up  or  supplanted  in  the  course  of  their  career  some  dozen 
rival  or  antecedent  journals,  so  t.iat  the  Pioneer-Press  and  Tribune  represents 
and  embodies  the  mature  results  of  nearly  all  the  labors,  the  enterprise,  the  capital, 
and  the  brains  which  have  been  devoted  for  the  last  twenty-seven  years  to  the 
building  up  of  ]o;ii-uaiisui  la  these  two  nourishing  cities.    The  practical  result  of  this 


286  Till']  CIKEAT  ^^EYiirsPAPBRS 

consolidation  of  tlie  three  rival  morning  newspapers  of  Minnesota  is  to  give  the 
PlOXEEii-PRESS  A^'I)  TRIBUNE  a  bona  fide  daily  circulation  of  nearly  10,000  copies. 
No  other  daily  ne\vsi)aper  in  the  Northwest,  outside  of  Chicago,  has  half  so  large 
a  circulation,  and  it  is  live  or  six  times  as  large  as  that  of  any  other  paper  in  Minne- 
sota. Nor  does  any  other  newspaper  in  the  Northwest,  outside  of  Chicago,  enjoy 
•*o  extensive  a  field  of  circulation,  or  so  commanding  a  position  and  so  exclusive  an 
ascendency  within  that  Held.  It  is  the  only  morning  newspaper  published  in  the 
two  adjacent  cities  of  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis,  the  commercial  and  manufacturing 
centres  of  Minnesota  and  the  upper  Mississippi  Valley,  with  an  aggregate  popula- 
tion of  75,000  souls,  and  it  is  the  only  morning  newspaper  published  in  the  State  of 
Minnesota  Avith  a  population  of  650,000  souls.  It  is  the  only  important  morning  jour- 
nal published  west  of  Chicago  and  Milwaukee,  from  which  St.  Paul  is  separated  by  a 
breadth  of  500  miles,  or  nortii  of  St.  Louis,  which  is  900  miles  distant.  Its  actual  field 
of  circulation  embraces  the  whole  of  Minnesota,  Northern  Iowa,  Northwestern 
Wisconsin  and  Dakota,  and  within  this  field,  with  an  aggregate  population  of  SSO.OOo 
souls  it  has  no  competitor. 

As  a  newspaper  the  Pioxeer-Press  and  Tribune  is  every  way  worthy  of  its 
great  constituency.  It  is  an  eight-page  paper  of  the  size  of  the  great  Chicago  and  New 
York  dailies,  and  publishes  daily  more  reading  matter  than  any  Philadelphia,  Cincin- 
nati or  Boston  daily.  Among  the  western  journals  the  greatest  of  the  Chicago  and 
the  St.  Louis  newspapers  can  alone  compare  in  standing,  influence  or  circulation  with 
the  Pioneer-Press.  But  these  newspapers,  which  overshadow  and  supplant  all  rivals 
in  Illinois,  Central  and  Southern  Iowa,  and  Eastern  and  Southern  Wisconsin,  are 
published  at  points  too  remote  from  the  great  northwestern  territory  of  the  Pioneer- 
Press  to  compete  with  it  in  this,  its  own  exclusive  field,  where  it  distributes  the  news 
of  the  day  from  twelve  to  thirty-six  hours  ahead  of  the  Chicago  dailies,  and  it  is  the 
unrestricted  possession  of  so  large  a  field  which  has  permitted  the  building  up  of  a 
first-class  newspaper  like  this  in  a  region  so  comparatively  new.  The  same  condi- 
tions which  have  promoted  the  marvellous  growth  of  the  Pioneer-Press  in  the 
past  afford  an  ample  guarantee  that  its  future  growth  in  circulation  and  character 
will  be  commensurate  with  the  rapid  grogress  of  this  great  and  fertile  region,  which 
constitutes  the  wheat  belt  of  the  continent,  and  is  now  advancing  more  rapidly  in 
wealth  and  population  than  any  other  part  of  the  Union. 

The  Daily  Pioneer-Press  is  universally  taken  by  all  classes  of  readers  in 
Minnesota  and  the  adjacent  districts  of  the  neighboring  States  who  take  any  daily 
newspaper  at  all.  The  Weekly  Pioneer-Press,  a  magnificent  quarto,  circulates 
as  universally  among  the  intelligent  rural  population  of  Minnesota.  Its  weekly 
edition  is  14,000,  and  is  rapidly  increasing 

The  Pioneer-Press  Company  are  also  the  publishers  of  the  Minneapolis  Evening 
Tribune,  the  best  evening  paper  in  the  State,  and  the  only  one  in  Minneapolis,  with 
a  large  local  circulation. 

The  Pioneer-Press  Company  own  one  of  the  largest  and  finest  structures  devoted 
to  the  newspaper  and  printing  business  in  the  West.  It  was  built  a  few  years  ago 
for  the  St.  Paul  Press,  on  the  corner  of  Minnesota  and  Third  streets,  St.  Paul.  It  is 
50  feet  frontby  150  feet  deep,  being  four  stories  heigh,  with  a  mansard  roof,  and  two- 
thirds  of  its  whole  area  is  occupied  by  the  newspaper,  printing,  binding  and  litho- 
graphic business  of  the  Pioneer-Press  Company.  It  is  undoubtedly  in  all  its  de 
partments  the  best  equipped  printing  and  newspaper  office  in  the  Northwest,  out- 
side of  Chicago. 


THE  SACRAMENTO 

DAILY  AND  SEMI- WEEKLY  RECORD-UNION, 


A   LEADING  CALIFORNIA  NEWSPAPER. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THE   BOOK  OF  THE  CENTEXXIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


Sacramento  is  the  capital  of  the  State  of  California,  centrally  located,  and  the 
chief  city  of  the  interior  of  the  State.  The  only  morning  paper  pnblished  at  the 
capital  of  the  State  is  the  Sacramento  Record-Union.  Its  history  is  co-equal  Avith 
that  of  the  State,  and  closely  interwoven  with  the  historical,  social  and  political  pro 
gress  of  California.  No  paper  on  the  Pacific  Coast  is  more  widely  known,  or  enjoys 
a  more  general  circulation.  The  Sacramento  Daily  and  Weekly  Union  was 
established  in  the  year  1851.  Its  progress  was  one  unprecedented  in  newspaper  annals, 
and  during  a  quarter  of  a  century  it  justly  gained  the  reputation  of  being  the  best 
newspaper  on  the  Western  slope.  Its  influence  was  commensurate  with  its  great 
reputation,  and  it  was  the  acknowledged  leader  of  independent  thought,  progress 
and  all  material  movements  looking  to  the  advancement  of  the  State,  the  upholding 
of  purity  in  politics  and  social  and  business  life,  and  as  the  most  thorough  and  relia- 
ble of  newspapers.  It  was  the  tocsin  for  years  of  all  popular  movements,  the  un- 
flinching friend  of  sobriety,  permanency  and  real  merits  in  all  those  early  years 
when  the  society  of  the  Pacific  Coast  was  receiving  the  impress  which  should  fix  its 
future  standing.  Its  proprietors  grew  gray  in  the  service,  and  in  1875  they  retired 
from  its  management,  and  it  became  consolidated  with  the  Sacramento  Daily  and 
Semi- Weekly  Record.  The  iJecor^Z  was  established  in  facto  in  the  year  ISfiT.  It  had 
for  its  business  rival  the  Union,  it  moved  in  the  same  circle,  and  sought  the  same 
patronage.  From  the  outset  it  was  a  prosperous  paper.  Its  conduct  was  that  of 
energy,  refinement  and  independence.  It  grew  in  popular  favor  day  by  day  and 
finally  stood  side  by  side  with  its  competitor  in  rank,  standing  and  extended  influence. 
In  the  height  of  its  career,  enjoying  an  enviable  reputation,  and  recognized  as  an 
honor  to  the  State,  it  was  consolidated  with  the  Union,  and  in  February,  1875,  the 
Record-Union  was  issued.  Since  that  date  the  current  of  these  two  papers,  flowing 
in  the  same  channel,  has  been  one  of  force,  independence  and  broad  influence  more 
than  equal  to  that  of  any  newspaper  on  the  Pacific  slope.  Two  marked  features  dis- 
tinguish the  Record-Union,  a  total  absence  of  sensationalism,  in  place  of  which  is 
a  perfect  news  reliability  and  energetic  spirit;  and  second,  an  elevated  tone  not 
equalled  in  the  histoi-y  of  journalism.  Its  departments  are  seven  in  number:  Edi- 
torial, News,  Literary,  Agricultural,  Commercial,  Statistical  and  Local. 

In  the  Editorial  Department  the  Record-Union  has  no  compeer  west  of  the 
Mississippi  for  vigor,  scholarly  ability,  clearness  of  perceptions,  nicity  of  diction 
or  independence  and  originality  of  thought.  In  its  News  Department  its  facilities 
are  those  afforded  by  the  Associated  Press  dipsatches,  a  thorough  private  system  of 
coast  telegraphic  news  gathering,  an  extended  and  able  corps  of  local  correspond- 
ents and  special  reporters,  and  a  systematic  departmentized  arrangement  of  select- 
ed news  from  an  unlimited  exchange  with  the  papers  of  the  world.  Its  Agricultural 
Department  leads  all  efforts  of  this  kind  in  newspapers  in  the  United  States,  and  is 
under  the  management  of  a  pioneer-experienced  and  thorough  agriculturist.  Its 
Literary  Department  is  ably  managed  and  conducted  Avith  an  eye-single  to  present- 
ing the  choicest  and  most  varied  selections  from  American,  English,  German  ana 
French  literature,  and  a  total  exclusion— as,  indeed,  is  done  in  all  the  departments— 
of  all  matter  which  can  offend  the  most  refined  taste,  or  shock  the  keenest  sensibil- 
ity. Its  Commercial  Department  is  prompt  and  constantly  up  to  the  business  stand- 
ard of  the  Coast    Its  Local  Department  is  controlled  in  the  interest  of  purely  local

news,  and  is  acknowledged  to  be  most  thorough,  correct  and  dignified  of  the  Coast. 
Tne  Statistical  Department  is  a  marked  feature  of  the  paper,  and  presents  constantly 
all  progressive  results  of  State  industries  and  growth,  culminating  on  New  Years' 
daj' of  each  j-ear  in  a  mammoth  holidaj' statistical  sheet  combined  Avith  the  usual 
issue  of  the  paper,  which  on  that  occasion  is  marked  by  enlargement  and  annual 
review  in  all  the  departments  upon  topics  congenial  to  them. 

In  addition,  the  Recoed-Umon  has  a  large  corps  of  regular  Eastern,  English 
German  and  home  correspondents,  whose  writings  partake  of  the  same  free,  ener-' 
getic,  independent  and  scholarly  character  which  characterizes  the  entire  paper. 

The  Kecord-Union  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  throughout  the  Union  is  acknowl- 
edged as  the  leader  in  journalistic  thought  and  expression  in  California.  It  is  thor- 
oughly independent  in  tone,  bound  to  no  party,  the  organ  of  no  sect  or  interest,  and 
the  tried  champion  of  Kepublican  institutions.  Its  tendencies  are  strongly  those 
which  arerefiected  in  the  principles  of  the  National  Kepublican  partj',  and  its  con- 
stant voice  is  for  the  integrity  of  the  government,  the  i)erpetuation  of  free  institu- 
tions, purity  in  all  govermental  branches,  and  honesty  in  all  things.  It  enjoys  the 
largest  and  most  extended  circulation,  daily,  of  any  interior  paper,  and  its  semi- 
weekly  edition  surpases  in  extended  circulation  that  of  any  journal  circulating  west 
of  the  Mississippi. 

Its  building  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  in  the  capital  city,  and  all  its  interior 
arrangements  are  those  usual  to  a  first-class  newspaper.  The  Hecoed-Union  as  an 
advertising  medium  for  the  Pacific  Coast,  attests  its  value  by  the  constantly-crowded 
condition  of  the  columns  set  apart  for  that  jnirpose,  and  which  arc  availed  of  with 
avidity  by  the  business  men  of  the  Coast  and  the  great  East. 

In  conclusion,  the  paper  has  no  equal  on  the  Pacific  slope,  has  no  comp?or  there 
in  influence,  intelligence  and  energy,  and  no  rival  in  the  esteem  of  the  people. 

It  is  published  by  the  Sacramento  Publishing  Company,  of  which  William  II. 
Mills  is  general  and  sole  manager.  It  is  issued  each  morning,  except  Sunday,  and 
the  semi-weekly  appears  on  Wednesdays  and  Saturdays  of  each  week. 


THE  PRESBYTERIAN,  PHILADELPHIA, 

A  SKETCH  FOR  THE  BOOK   OF  THE   CENTEN'NIAL  XEWSPAFER  EXHIRITlOX 


The  PRESBriERiAN  was  established  as  a  weekly  joui-nal  in  the  year  1831,  and 
has  long  been  regarded  one  of  the  best  religious  family  papers  in  the  country. 
Its  corps  of  correspondents  embrace  able  writers  in  all  parts  of  the  world.  Its 
editorial  columns  are  presided  over  by  Rev.  M.  B.  Grier,  D.  I).,  and  Rev.  J.  A. 
Mutchmore,  J).  D.  It  is  an  excellent  advertising  medium,  reaching  a  most  sub- 
stantial and  intelligent  class  of  people.  The  oflice  of  publication  is  at  1512 
Chestnut  street,  Philadelphia. 


THE  CO-OPERATIVE  NEWSPAPERS. 


A  SKETCH  FOn  TH5  1500K  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


A  most  remavkable  peculiarity  of  American  journalism  is  the  combina- 
tion or  system  of  so-called  "Co-operative  Newspapers,"  a  system  originated 
about  fourteen  years  ago,  and  which  has  had  a  wonderful  growth,  until  it  now 
embraces  over  2,000  of  tho  weekly  journals  of  the  United  States— and  the  num- 
ber is  still  increasing. 

Comparatively  few  people  are  aware  of  the  existence  of  this  important  ele- 
ment of  journalism.  Unless  the  reader  is  connected  with  the  press  or  is  a  gen- 
eral advertiser,  he  probably  is  unacquainted  with  the  meaning  of  the  term  "  Co- 
operative Newspaper.''  If,  during  a  visit  to  the  Newspaper  Pavilion,  you  should 
take  up  for  perusal  some  newspaper  published,  for  instance,  in  one  of  the  inte- 
rior towns  of  New  York,  and  should  afterwards  take  up  a  newspaper  published 
in  some  town  in  Pennsylvania,  you  might  be  very  much  surprised  to  find  that 
there  wf)S  apparently  a  striking  coincidence  in  the  articles  appearing  in  the  two 
papers,  it  would  lead  you  to  compare  them.  You  would  notice  that  thei-e  were 
two  pieces  of  poetry  in  the  first  column  of  one  of  the  papers.,  and  on  turning  to 
the  other  paper  you  would  observe  the  same  two  poems  in  the  same  corner  of 
that  paper.  Following  the  poetry  in  one  paper  there  would  bo  a  story  occupying 
several  columns;  you  look  into  the  other  paper  and  find  the  same  storj' there. 
You  think  it  a  very  strange  coincidence  that  two  editors,  one  hundred  miles 
apart,  should  have  made  the  same  selections  to  that  extent  the  same  week,  and 
that  the  articles  should  be  placed  in  the  same  position  in  both  papers.  You 
compare  the  papers  further,  and  notice  a  summary  of  the  news  of  the  week. 
Both  papers  have  the  same  summary,  word  for  word.  Then  the  advertisements 
are  examined  and  found  to  be  precisely  alike  in  both  papers  and  placed  in  the 
same  order.  A  further  examination  reveals  the  fact  that  the  outside  pages  ot 
both  papers  are  exactly  alike  throughout,  with  the  exception  of  the  heading 
which  gives  the  name  of  the  papers.  Your  curiosity  is  aroused,  and  you  deter- 
mine to  solve  the  mystery.  If  you  inquire  of  one  of  the  attendants  at  the  Pa- 
vilion you  will  obtain  tho  information  souglit  for.  You  will  bo  informed  that 
the  two  papers  were  both  printed  at  an  establishment  in  New  York  city,  which 
also  prints  over  300  other  newspapers.  It  prints  but  one  side  of  the  sheet,  how- 
ever, the  matter  selected  for  this  purpose  consisting  of  general  news,  literature, 
poetry,  agricultural  and  other  subjects  of  general  interest.  The  other  side  ot 
the  sheet  is  printed  subsequently  at  the  office  of  publication,  and  is  filled  with 
editorials,  and  local  news  and  advertisements.  The  papers  printed  at  the  New 
York  establishment  are  not  all  exactly  alike,  however,  nor  of  the  same  size. 
Nine  different  sizes  of  folio  and  quarto  sheets  are  printed,  and  when  two  or 
more  papers  are  supplied  which  are  published  in  the  same  or  near-by  counties, 
the  matter  furnished  is  entirely  different.  Similar  establishments  exist  in 
Chicago,  Milwaukee,  Cincinnati,  Memphis,  St.  Paul,  and  other  cities,  and  alto- 
gether they  save  to  the  country  press  over  $2,000,000  annually.  There  is  also  a 
further  great  saving  to  advertisers.  Formerly,  if  a  general  advertiser  wished  to 
insert  an  advertisement  in  these  2,000  papers,  the  expense  of  correspondence 
and  the  time  involved  in  making  contracts  was  necessarily  very  great.  This 
time  and  expense  are  saved  to  the  advertiser  under  the  co-operative  method, 
and  he  also  secures  a  lower  rate  for  the  advertising  than  he  could  obtain  from 
the  papers  direct,  for  the  reason  that  an  advertisement  does  not  require  to  be 
set  up  2,000  times,  or  once  for  each  paper,  but  only  forty  times,  and  it  frequently 
happens  that  the  price  charged  for  an  advertisement  is  less  than  the  actual  cost 
of  setting  up  the  type,  if  it  were  set  up  once  for  each  newspaper.  The  leading 
advertisers  of  tlie  country  patronize  these  lists  very  extensivelj^,  and  it  is  not

uncommon  for  the  annual  bills  of  an  advertiser  to  amount  to  from  $10,000  to 
$20,000,  and  sometimes  to  even  $30,000  to  $40,000.  The  Chicago  Daily  Times  ot 
March  11, 1876,  thus  alludes  to  the  American  Newspaper  Union,  which  includes 
1,200 of  the  co-operative  papers: 

Within  the  past  twelve  years  there  has  been  a  vast  improvement  made  in 
the  country  newspaper— particularly  in  respect  to  the  care  in  which  all  the  news 
of  the  day  is  gathered  and  edited,  and  the  literary  ability  displayed  in  its  col- 
umns, which  relieves  the  provincial  press  from  the  few  objections  that  l\ave 
been  h'Tctofore  urged  against  it,  and  has  accorded  to  it  higher  dignity,  extended 
its  influence,  and  greatly  augmented  its  power  for  good.  The  typographical 
appearance  of  tlie  country  journal  of  to-day  is  perfect;  the  display  and  classifi- 
cation of  its  advertisements  tasty;  the  quality  of  the  paper  used  and  the  print- 
ing far  superior  to  that  of  its  city  contemporaries. 

This  has  been  chiefly  due  to  the  American  Newspaper  Union,  which  practically 
shai->es  the  literary  tone  of  some  l,2i)0  diff'erent  newspapers  scattered  through 
the  Eastern,  Middle,  Western,  and  Southwestern  States;  collates  their  foreign 
and  national  news,  selects  their  miscellany  from  the  best  sources,  and  infuses  a 
vigor  into  their  columns  such  as  they  never  knew  before.  The  work  of  the 
American  Newspaper  Union  is  as  curious  and  interesting  as  it  is  valuable.  AVe 
doubt  if  many  of  our  city  readers  understand  the  peculiar  field  in  journalism 
that  it  occupies,  and  we  therefore  devote  a  little  sjoace  to  the  subject  for  the 
purpos;^.  of  conveying  the  information. 

Tne  idea  oil  Avhich  the  Union  is  found  el  originated  with  Mr.  A.  J.  Aikens 
some  twelve  years  ago.  He  was  then  engaged  in  the  publisliing  business  at 
Milwaukee,  and  being  a  practical  printer  and  a  thorough  business  man,  the 
tliought  occurred  to  him  that  a  number  of  country  papf^rs  might  co-opex-ate  and 
have  tlie  inside,  i  e.,  the  news  and  literai-y  portion  of  their  sheets,  printed  atone 
general  city  office,  where  the  opportunity  for  having  the  work  well  done  is 
superior  to  that  enjoyed  b}-  most  country  newspaper  offices.  TIjc  idea  was  put 
into  pi-actical  operation  at  the  olfic-e  of  Cramer,  Aikens  &  Cramer,  proprietors  ot 
the  Eveninj  Wisconsin,  Mlwaukee,  and  it  worked  so  admirably  as  to  attract  the 
attention  of  newspaper  men  all  over  the  country,  and  met  with  universal 
approval. 

The  cost  of  advertising  in  these  lists  is  ridiculously  cheap.  One  cent  per  line 
in  each  paper  covers  the  expense.  We  are  not  aware  of  any  kind  of  newspaper 
advertising,  good,  bad,  or  indifferent,  tliat  will  compare  in  point  of  cheapness 
with  tills.  But  when  we  take  into  consideration  the  character  of  the  papers,  the 
class  of  intelligent  readers  whom  they  reach,  their  power  and  influence,  their 
general  diflTusion  over  the  whole  country,  and  the  manner  in  wh  ch  the  adver- 
tisement is  printed,  it  must  be  admitted  that  the  American  Newspaper  Union 
has  reached  the  desideratum  long  sought  for  by  advertisers,  viz. :  '•  The  largest 
amount  of  benefit  for  the  least  possible  sum  of  money." 

The'^conomy  of  advertising  in  these  lists  is  apparent  for  another  reason,  viz. : 
If  the  advertiser  desires  to  use  a  cut  in  his  advertisement,  but  one  cut  is  neces- 
sary for  the  whol--.  1,200  papers.  If  he  were  to  advertise  direct  with  1,200  differ- 
ent papers  it  would  require  an  equal  number  of  cuts,  and  the  cost  for  the  cuts 
and  for  postage  would  equal  or  exceed  the  cost  of  the  advertising,  as  many  ad- 
vertisers have  found  to  their  sorrow  heretofore.  And  they  found,  too,  to  their 
disgust,  that  their  advertisements  were  not  always  inserted  as  directed,  bt^ing 
frequently  left  out  and  often  disfigured  by  the  dropping  out  of  type.  With  the 
Union  the  advertiser  is  relieved  of  all  trouble,  all  expense  for  extra  cuts  and 
postage;  the  advertisement  is  neatly  set  up  and  stereotyped,  and  ihe  advertiser 
may  relj'  on  its  going  in  the  whole  edition  of  1,200,  for  if 'the  officers  of  the  Union 
were  disposed  to  leave  it  out  of  a  part  of  their  edition,  it  would  cost  them  more 
than  to  print  it. 

The  distribution  of  the  papers  is  as  follows : 

New  England 78    Indiana 81    Iowa 85 

New  York 101    Illinois 117    Nebraska 15

G.  P.  ROWELL  &  CO.-ADVERTISING  AGENCY. 


A  SKETCH  FOR  THIi  BOOK  OF  THE  CENTENNIAL  NEWSPAPER  EXHIBITION. 


WHAT  IS  AN  ADVERTISING  AGENCY? 
A  gentleman  latelj'  stepped  into  the  office  of  the  New  York  Times  for  the 
purpose  of  inserting  a  notice  of  ''Situation  Wanted"  for  a  cook,  who  luid  lived 
in  his  family  and  for  whom  he.was  desirous  of  obtaining  a  place  before  closing 
up  housekeeping,  as  he  then  contemplated.  The  girl  had,  at  a  fomicr  pr-riod. 
lived  in  Brooklyn,  and,  having  friends  thei-e,  it  was  thought  best  to  insert  the 
advertisement  in  the  Brooklyn  Eagle.  Intending  to  give  the  matter  his  per- 
sonal attention,  he  inquired  the  location,  in  Brooklyn,  of  the  office  of  the  Eagle. 
He  was  informed  that  if  he  was  going  there  for  the  purpose  of  causing  1  his 
advertisement  to  appear  in  that  paper,  he  could  save  himself  the  trouble  by 
leaving  the  order  in  the  advertising  agency  iu  the  Times  building,  up  stairs. 


GEO.  P.  ROWELL  &  CO'S  COUNTING  ROOM. 

The  gentleman  thereupon  came  to  the  agency  with  the  order— six  lines,  one 
insertion — for  which  he  paid  sixty  cents,  being  informed  that  that  was  the 
amount  required  according  to  the  rates  of  the  Brooklyn  paper.  Never  having 
heard  of  an  advertising  agency  before,  the  advertiser  wished  to  know  how 
much  additional  he  must  pay  for  being  saved  the  journey,  ferry  fares  and  time. 
In  answer  to  this  he  was  informed  that,  upon  making  settlement  with  the  Eagle, 
the  sum  of  twelve  cents  would  be  allowed  to  the  agency  as  a  commission  or 
payment  for  the  service  rendered  in  taking  and  forwarding  the  order. 

This  incident  conveys  nearly  all  that  can  be  told  to  explain  the  uses  of  a 
Newspaper  Advertising  Agency.  Had  the  notice  been  intended  for  a  San 
Francisco  paper,  for  one  in  Montreal,  New  Orleans,  or  any  of  the  New  York 
city  journals,  it  would  have  been  received  on  the  same  terms.  The  Advertising 
Agency  is  a  convenience;  it  is  nothing  more. 

The  advertising  agent,  from  the  knowledge  gained  by  experience,  becomes 
an  expert.  He  learns  from  papers  the  lowest  prices  which  they  say  they  will 
accept  for  advertisements.  He  learns  from  advertisers  the  rebates  and  favors 
which  they  have  obtained.  He  knows  the  strong  points  and  the  weak  points 
of  the  publishers;  what  papers  will  take  advertisements  low  and  what  class  of 
advertisements  they  will  take  lowest. 

To  nine  persons  in  every  ten  the  words  Newspaper  Advertising  Agency 
convey  no  idea.    They  never  heard  of  such  a  thing,  or,  if  they  have,  wondered 


292  WHAT  IS  AN  AUVERTISIxVG  AGENCY  ? 

what  il  was  all  about.  Of  the  forty  millions  of  people  in  the  United  States  not 
more  than  one  in  five  hundred  pays  a  pennj'  in  a  year  for  an  advertisement  in 
a  newspaper.  Of  those  who  do,  barely  one  in  ten  advertises  beyond  his  ov/n 
immediate  neighborhood,  and  consequently  has  no  occasion  to  consult  or  ad- 
vise with  any  agent  or  middle  man. 

The  above  calculations  give  10,000  persons,  distributed  throughout  the  Union, 
but  mainlj-  in  the  larger  cities,  who  advertise  or  desire  to  advertise  in  papers 
issued  at  a  distance  from  their  homes,  about  the  character,  appearance,  A^alue,. 
circulation  and  prices  of  which  they  have  no  reliable  information.  An  Adver- 
tising Agency  is  the  source  from  which  such  information  may  be  obtained. 

Inasmuch  as  no  more  than  one  person  in  five  thousand  has  any  personal  in- 
terest in  them,  and  that  the  existence  of  such  institutions  dates  back  hardly 
forty  years,  no  cause  exists  for  wonder  that,  to  the  general  public,  their  uses 
are  not  well  known. 

To  many  persons  who  have  some  knoweledge  of  Advertising  Agencies,  the 
scope  of  their  business  is  still  unknown.  We  write  with  a  hope  of  making  the 
matter  better  understood  and  to  answer  some  of  the  questions  which  are  so  fre- 
quently propounded  b5^  interested  inquirers. 

A  Newspaper  Advertising  Agency  doing  a  general  business  is  an  institution 
where  are  received  and  kept  on  file  copies  of  newspapers  issued  in  various  parts 
of  the  country,  which  are  mailed  to  the  agency,  that  thej-  may  be  there  accessi- 
ble to  persons  who  desire  to  use  their  advertising  columns.  Schedules  or  tables 
of  rates,  and  special  information  about  the  cost  of  advertising  in  each  separate 
paper  are  also  a  necessary  part  of  the  paraphernalia  of  the  agency. 

Some  Agencies  make  a  speciality  of  a  certain  class  of  publications,  as  for 
instance :  in  New  York  one  takes  advertising  for  magazines,  another  for  papers 
printed  in  the  German  language,  several  confine  their  operations  almost  ex- 
clusively to  publications  issued  in  the  city,  while  in  various  parts  of  the 
country  are  those  who  make  a  leading  specialty  of  the  religious  press ;  otlaers, 
again,  represent  only  country  papers,  while  a  few  act  for  everj'  class,  shade, 
and  denomination  of  the  entire  press  of  the  country. 

As  the  files  of  papers  which  are  found  at  the  agency  are  furnished  by  pub- 
lishers gratuitously,  they  are  taken  as  establishing  the  authority  of  the  agency 
to  represent  such  as  are  regularly  received,  and  for  which  a  schedule  of  adver- 
tising rates  has  been  furnished. 

The  cost  of  the  yearly  subscription  upon  his  publication  is  a  tax  which  the 
publisher  pays  for  the  support  of  the  agency.  As  the  payment  of  this  tax  is 
voluntary,  the  regular  receipt  of  the  paper  is,  with  reason,  taken  to  be  the  suf- 
ficient authorization  of  the  agency  to  represent  it.  By  this  rule  may  be  tested 
the  comparative  hold  possessed  by  the^  various  establishments  of  this  kind  upon 
the  confidence  and  esteem  of  newspaper  publishers. 

WHO  ARE  THE  PATRONS  OF  ADVERTISING  AGENCIES  ? 

Few  persons  have  any  conception  of  the  amount  of  money  paid  for  news- 
paper advertising.  The  number  of  papers  printed  in  the  various  States 
exceeds  eight  thousand ;  while  the  advertising  patronage  of  a  single  New  York 
daily  is  said  to  exceed  $750,000  per  annum  I  To  insert  a  single  column  on  the  last 
page  of  the  principal  illustrated  weekly  costs  no  less  than  $720  a  week— $4  a 
line!  If  every  paper  averages  an  annual  receipt  of  $1,000  per  annum  from 
advertisements,  we  have  $8,000,000  in  the  aggregate;  while,  if  every  paper 
printed  received  the  magnificent  patronage  of  the  daily  above  referred  to,  it 
would  amount  to  sufficient  to  pay  the  national  debt  in  four  months ! 

Only  advertisers  in  the  largest  cities  have  occasion  to  apply  to  an  agency 
concerning  advertising  in  their  own  vicinity.  The  principal  patrons  of  the 
Advertising  Agency  are  those  who  wish  to  reach  distant  points.  Of  these,  first 
in  importance  are  the  patent  medicine  men;  next  comes  that  class  whose 
announcements  commences  with  the  words,  "  Agents  Wanted,"  which  includes 
dealers  in  subscription  books,  sewing  machines,  patent  rights,  and  the  thousand 
and  one  articles  which  may  be  sold  by  hawiers  or  pedlers;  then  come  the  Bond 
advertisements,  "For  I  ivestment,"  Land  Companies,  "All  Wanting  Farms," 
Gift  Concerts,  Newspaper  Prospectuses,  Business  Cards,  &c.,  &c.    Advertise- 


WHAT  IS  AN  ADVERTISING  AGENCY?  293 


ments  of  "  Information  Wanted,"  are  also  among  those  most  frequently  brought 
to  the  agcncj',  but  as  they  go  into  few  papers,  and  for  no  more  than  one  or  two 
issues,  their  cost  is  inconsiderahle. 

Several  individual  advertisers,  known  to  the  writer,  are  in  the  habit  of 
inves:ing  yearly  upward  of  $100,000  per  annum,  bilt  their  number  will  not  exceed 
ten.  Perhaps  fifty  or  more  spend  as  much  as  $20,000;  while  those  who  pay  sums 
ranging  from  $1,000  to  $10,000  may  be  counted  by  hundreds.  The  amounts  ex- 
pended by  those  remaining,  to  make  up  the  ten  thousand  who  send  advertise- 
ments beyond  their  immediate  neighborhood,  range  from  one  dollar  upward, 
according  as  hope,  caprice,  their  desire  to  experiment,  or  their  means  of  paying 
may  dictate. 

WHAT  THE  ADVERTISER  GAINS  BY  EMPLOYING  THE  AGENCY. 

"  What  do  Igain  by  going  to  the  Advertising  Agency  in  preference  to  appeal- 
ing to  the  paper  direct?"  is  the  question  most  frequently  propounded  by  the 
novice  in  advertising.  To  this  the  true  answer  can  only  be,  Convenience  and 
the  benefit  of  experience. 

The  old  advertiser,  of  undoubted  responsibility,  who  knows  what  he  it 
about,  knows  the  value  of  papers,  their  prices;  knows  how  to  set  up  his  adver- 
tisement to  secure  the  best  display  in  the  smallest  space,  and  how  to  order  its 
insertion  that  the  publisher  will  not  extract  a  justification  for  an  extra  or  in- 
creased charge,  has  nothing  to  gain  by  transacting  his  business  through  an 
agency  except  the  convenience  of  making  one  transaction,  verifying  one 
account  at  one  place,  at  one  time,  and  paying  one  bill  instead  of  many.  Yes 
the  old  advertiser  deals  mainly  through  agencies  for  this  reason,  and  the 
saving  of  time,  stationery  and  postage. 

It  is  not  fair  to  suppose  that  the  reputable  agent  will  underbid  his  principal ; 
Ms  duty  does  not  lie  in  that  direction.  It  is  his  province  to  arrange  that  his  adver- 
tiser shall  not  pay  for  more  space  than  he  requires ,  that  he  get  a  good  position 
without  an  unnecessary  extra  charge.  The  advertiser  who  deals  through  a  re- 
putable agency  knows  beforehand  that  the  cost  is  not  to  exceed  a  given  sum. 
If  more  must  be  paid  the  matter  is  submitted  for  his  reconsideration.  How 
many  advertisers  have  received  from  i^ublishers  bills  amounting  to  dollars 
w^hen  they  expected  to  pay  dimes  onlj'— to  hundreds  of  dollars  when  they  sup- 
posed tens  would  be  all  that  would  be  required  ?  How  many  have  ordered  the 
Insertion  of  cards  by  word  of  mouth,  believing  that  advertising  was  cheap,  and 
learned  when  too  late  how  erroneous  was  any  such  supposition  ? 

It  is  a  notorious  fact  that  as  soon  as  advertisers  begin  to  do  business  through 
agencies  their  bills  decrease  in  individual  papers,  and  the  amount  saved  is 
devoted  to  extending  the  announcement  in  other  journals,  procuring  thereby  a 
wider  circulation.  It  is  in  recognition  of  this  fact  that  some  publishers  decline 
allowing  any  commission  to  an  agency  on  advertisements  from  those  who  have 
previously  dealt  with  the  paper  direct.  So  thoroughly  is  it  understood  that  no 
advertiser  now  deals  direct  who  understands  his  interests,  pays  liis  advertising 
bills,  and  makes  them  pay  him,  that  it  is  often  considered  an  evidence  of  irre- 
sponsibility or  incapacity  for  an  advertiser  to  apply  direct  for  terms  of  adver. 
tising.  There  are  exceptions  to  this  rule  among  the  largest  and  oldest  adver- 
tisers, who  commenced  business  befoi'c  the  agency  system  was  perfected ;  but 
it  requires  good  credit  and  a  well-known  name  to  bring  specific  answers  from 
publishers  to  applications  for  rates  or  even  orders  for  insertion,  as  many  an 
advertiser  has  found  out  to  his  chagrin,  although  classed  in  the  mercantile 
books  as  of  first-rate  standing. 

As  the  advertising  agent  is  paid  for  his  services,  and  for  assuming  to  become 
responsible  to  the  publisher  for  the  payment  of  all  bills  for  advertising  ordered 
through  the  agency,  it  becomes  common  for  the  advertisers  to  demand  the  same 
allowance  on  their  own  business  when  they  deal  direct.  To  this  demand 
publishers  who  are  in  the  habit  of  sustaining  their  rates  rarely  respond,  but 
inasmuch  as  the  making  of  the  request  supported  by  such  questions  as,  ••  Isn't 
my  money  as  good  as  that  of  the  agent's,'  etc  ,  etc.,  expose  the  advertiser  to  the 
imputation  of  being  deficient  in  sense  or  moral  rectitude,  or  tliat  he  believes  the 
publisher  to  be  so,  the  latter  sometimes  forgets  himself  and  the  duty  he  owes 


294  WHAT  IS  AN  ADVERTISING  AGENCY? 

his  agent,  and  makes  a  reduction  equivalent  to  the  agent's  commission,  as  the- 
easiest  way  of  satisfying  the  advertiser  and  putting  an  end  to  fvirthcr  talk  or 
correspondence.  The  advertiser  not  infrequentlj^  finds,  by  after  experience, 
that  the  agent  is  able  to  procure  for  him  even  a  greater  reduction,  and  at  the 
same  time  retain  his  own  commission  intact. 

A  moment's  careful  consideration  will  convince  an  advertiser  of  good  sense 
that  although  a  publisher  would  prefer  the  order  direct,  when  sure  of  his  pay, 
for  the  sake  of  saving  the  reduction  taken  by  the  agency  for  a  commission,  yet 
if  the  reduction  must  be  made  in  one  shape  or  another,  leaving  liim  nothing  to 
gain,  he  will  prefer  to  give  it  to  the  agent,  to  whom  it  can  be  allowed  without 
seeming  to  break  down  his  rates  or  violating  his  self-respect. 

The  advantages  of  the  Newspaper  Advertising  Agency  to  the  advertiser  then 
are  these:— Experience  without  cost;  one  contract  instead  of  many;  guarded 
against  unnecessary  extra  charges,  and  knowing  in  advance  the  price,  beyond 
which  an  order  will  not  be  carried  without  his  full  knowledge  and  consent. 

Of  those  advertisers  who  believe  that  they  can  obtain  the  same  net  terais 
direct  as  would  be  accorded  to  the  agency,  we  ask,  is  it  reasonable  that  publish- 
ers should  extend  as  gcod  rates  to  an  advertiser  who  expends  $5,000  a  year  as  to 
an  agent  who  forwards  $50,000  a  month  ?  If  any  one  is  to  be  pleased  or  catered  to, 
is  it  not,  under  the  circumstances,  more  likely  to  be  the  agent?  Would  eight 
thousand  publisliers  contribute  free  their  periodicals  from  year  to  year,  the 
subscriptions  upon  which,  taking  dailies,  weeklies,  and  all,  amounts  to  more 
than  $20,000  per  annum,  and  then  set  about  undei-mining  the  institution  for 
the  support  of  which  they  have  paid  so  much?  Is  such  a  supposition  reasonable? 
The  truth  is  that  between  the  best  class  of  agencies  and  the  publishers  there  is 
no  competition.  On  any  considerable  order,  the  agent,  by  taking  advantage 
of  every  point  in  the  advertiser's  favor,  is  alioays  below  the  aggregate  price 
obtained  by  application  to  publishers. 

Before  entrusting  his  work  to  an  agency  an  advertiser  should  first  satisfy 
himself  of  its  ability  to  secure  for  him  the  best  advantages,  after  wdiich  his  busi- 
ness should  be  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  agent  selected,  and  kept  there  as  long 
as  he  is  faithfully  served.  When  confidence  is  no  longer  had  in  the  agent,  let 
the  advertiser  resort  to  no  half-way  measure,  but  withdraw  his  patronage 
altogether. 

THE  BEST    ADVERTISING  AGENCY. 

The  best  advertising  agency  is  one  that  secures  so  much  business  from  a 
good  class  of  advertisers  as  to  enable  it  to  command  from  the  greatest  number 
of  publishers  the  most  favorable  rates  ever  accorded. 

The  American  Newspaper  Advertising  Agency  of  Geo.  P.  Rowell  &  Co.,  No. 
41  Park  Kow,  New  Yoi'k,  is  the  principal  one  in  the  United  States,  and  by  far  the 
most  complete  establishment  of  the  kind  in  the  world,  for  in  no  other  country 
are  these  institutions  conducted  with  anything  like  the  system  whicli  obtains 
here.  Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Rowell  &  Co.  establi-shed  their  agency  in  1865,  and  in  1870 
consolidated  with  and  succeeded  to  the  business  of  the  advertising  agency  con- 
ducted till  that  time,  since  1840,  by  Mr.  John  Hooper,  who  was  the  first  adver- 
tising agent  who  did  business  in  the  city  of  New  York. 

The  Advertising  Agcncj'  of  Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Rowell  &  Co.  controls  by  far  the 
largest  amount  of  advertising  patronage  ever  secured  by  any  institution  of  the 
kind.  From  their  oflice  is  forwarded  an  amount  not  short  of  that  emanating 
from  all  the  other  agencies  in  the  United  States  combined.  They  receive  and 
have  on  file  all  newspapers  published  in  the  United  States  and  Canadas,  with 
scarcely  an  exception  of  importance.  They  receive  the  best  terms  and  largest 
reductions  allowed  to  any  advertising  agency. 

They  are  the  source  from  which  all  other  advertising  agencies,  without  any 
exception,  derive  their  information  about  newspapers.  Let  an  advertiser  step 
into  any  agency  and  ask  the  name  of  the  publisher  of  a  paper  at  any  distant 
point;  l«;t  him  ask  how  many  papers  are  issued  in  such  and  such  a  city,  he  w 
man 3*  are  daily,  how  many  weekly,  what  is  the  politics,  character,  or  circulation. 
To  anj'  or  all  of  these  questions  he  will  receive  no  reply  until  a  reference  has 
been  made  to  Geo.  P.  Rowell  &  Co's  Annual  Newspaper  Directory  .  No  account 
is  kept  in  any  other  agency  of  the  new  papers  which  are  started,  now  averaging

five  evei-y  clay ;  or  of  the  old  ones,  which  die  or  change  hands.  For  all  informa- 
tion of  this  kind  all  the  agencies  depend  upon  Geo.  P.  Ilowcll  &  Go's  Weekly

Besides  the  advantage  of  their  position  at  the  head  of  their  business,  they 
have  special  contracts  which  give  Ihena  an  uuequale<l  advantage  in  more  than 
two  thousand  of  the  newspapers  of  the  country. 


WHAT  IS  DONE  WITH  THE  NEWSPAPERS  ? 
Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Rowell  &  Co.  receive  more  than  one  hundred  and  forty  thou- 
sand newspapers  every  three  months,  or  more  than  seventeen  hundred  and  fifty 
every  daj'.  On  occasions  in  the  winter,  when  the  snows  interfere  with  the  regu- 
lar running  of  the  trains,  as  soon  as  the  blockade  is  removed  it  not  unfrequently 
happens  that  as  many  as  twenty-flve  bLishcls  will  come  in  of  a  single  morning, 
counting  possibly  as  many  as  ten  thousand  papers  in  one  mail  deliver3^

WHAT  IS  DON-E  WITH  THE  NEWSPAPERS? 


advertisements  ordered  from  the  Agency  are  beijig 
inserted  according  to  specifications  of  contract. 

The  countrj'  is  divided  into  sections  and  appor- 
tioned out.    One  person  attends  to  papers  issued  in 


the  city  of  New  York;  another  checks  those  in  States 
near  by;  one  has  Canada,  one  the  South,  and  another 
tbe  Territories  and  Pacific  Coast. 

With  liis  book  spread  out  before  him  the  work 
of  examination  and  checking  proceeds.

m 


Every  paper  in  wliich  an  advertisement  is  running  is  opened  out  and  tlie 
advertisements,  one  or  more,  are  marked  with  a  crayon  so  as  to  be  easily  found 
or  seen  at  a  glance  when  the  advertiser  comes  to  make  his  examination  before 
paying  his  bill. 

The  cliecking  books  are  arranged  to  show  the  actual  number  of  insertions 
'^'}}}^}^_^Z^^y^'^^'^-^^^^^^^rxli^  to  receive.    Special  maiks  are  used  to  designate 


special  things,  and  the  check- 
ing clerk,  guided  by  instruc- 
tions, produces  a  page  which 
will  show  the  advertiser  at  a 
glance  whether  h:s  insertions

'^'"^ ■  giam  the  plan  is  made  plain, 

as  in  use  for  a  weekly  paper.  The  name  of  the  advertiser,  the  space,  position, 
style  and  length  ot  time  an  advertisement  must  appear  are  allindicated.  The  va- 
rious marks  have  their  meaning-all  easily  understood  and  not  reaui.-v  mistaken.

^^E.AT  IS  LONE  WITH  THE  NEWSPAPERS? 


297 


If  a  paper  fails  to  come  to  hand,  the  checking  book  reveals  the  fact,  and  it  i3 
sent  for.  It  may  not  he  of  much  importance,  hut  the  clerk  in  charge  is  instructed 
not  to  consider  that,  but  to  get  the  paper  and  Jceej)  files  comjylete. 

If  an  advertisement  is  materially  wrong,  is  out  of  position,  has  important 
typographical  errors,  or  for  any  reason  is  not  what  the  advertiser  is  entitled  to 
expect,  notice  is  di.^patched  to  the  publisher  at  once,  and  the  error  is  made  good 
by  another  insertion  or  a  reduction  from  the  bill. 
This  system  is  carried  to  great  perfection. 

The  checking  books  are  kept  permanently  for  inspection  by  advertisers. 
The  papers  themselves  are  kept  three  months  from  date  of  issue,  after  that  time 
the  Agency  does  not  guarantee  to  exhibit  them. 

After  the  examination  and  mark, 
ing,  the  paper  is  again  folded,  and 
receives  a  heavy  mark  on  its  upper 
right  hand  corner  to  indicate  that  it 
has  passed  through  the  requisite  ex- 
amination, and  is  ready  to  be  placed 
upon  file.  It  is  then  taken  and  placed 
in  the  .space  accorded  to  it.  Every 
weekly  paper  is  assigned  a  pigeon- 
hole, 8  inches  by  10  1-2,  and  one  foot 
deep,  while  to  a  daily  is  accorded 
three  such.  These  spaces  are  all  des- 
ignated by  a  label,  having  printed 
upon  it  the  name  of  the  paper  to 
"*"*-*•    '       '  ■"  '         '        "  which  the  space  is  accorded. 

These  being  placed  In  tiers  or 
cases  placed  back  to  back  and  set  up 
to  form  galleries,  so  as  to  permit  of 
the  whole  being  arranged  alphabetic- 
ally by  States,  the  name  of  each  State 
being  designated  on  the  cases  and 
again  over  the  entrance  to  each  sepa- 
rate galler5^ 

A  stranger  is  thus  enabled  to 
search  out  the  depository  for  his  own 
local  paper,  or  any  other  that  he  may 
dcsii-e  to  see,  w^ith  as  much  readiness 
as  he  finds  a  word  in  a  dictionary  or 
a  name  in  a  dii-ectory. 

These  galleries  being  arranged  one 
story  above  another  and  as  compactly 
-rp.  as  possible,  occupying  portions  of  the 
same  rooms  where  all  the  work  upon 
the  papers  is  performed,  leave  noth- 
ing to  be  desired  in  the  way  of  con- 
venience. 

An  advertiser  whose  rule  it  is  to 
pay  no  bills  until  he  sees  all  the pajyers 
can  here  be  accommodated,  and  a 
business  amounting  to  $20,000  per  an- 
num in  cheap  country  papers  can  be 
looked  after  (every  copy  of  every 
paper  examined)  by  the  advertiser, 
or  his  representative,  who  will  devote 
three  days'  time  to  the  examination 
four  times  a  year.

examiner  takes  in  its  appearance,  style,  position,  everything  in  an  instant,  and 

if  it  is    not  marked  he  need  go  no 

farther;  it  is  not  tliere,  and  he  is  en-     ^'  _  _    -  _  —    _     =^^ 

titled  to  one  other  insertion  or  an 

allowance. 

An  important  use  of  having  com-  t| 

plete  files  of  papers  so  conveniently  II' 

arranged  consists  in  being  able  to 

produce  for  large  advertisers  samp- 
les of  all  the  papers  in  which  they 

wish  to  insert  their  announcements, 

that   they  may    see   for   themselves 

what   each   paper   looks    like,   and 

judge  what  style  of  advertising  will 

be  most  effective  in  each. 

When  the  papers  have  accumulated  until  their  alloted  spaces  assume  a 

crowded  appearance,  then  comes  the 
final  solu:ion  of  the  problem  of 
"  What  do  you  do  with  them?  ''  Boys 
go  through  the  galleries,  extract 
the  superfluous  papers  from  each  of 
^:^u;  the  spaces  (being  careful  to  leave  a 
vM^^  complete  file  for  at  least  three 
B:ionths),  throw  them  into  one  great 
heap;  after  which  a  dealer  in  paper 
stock  sends  men  who  cart  them 
all   awaj',  and    in    another    month 

they  may  be  found  in  the  store  of  the  paper  dealer,  made  into  new  bundles, 

upon  which  may  again  be  printed  other  papers  to  repeat  the  same  round  of 

experiences, 

Vs  a  display  of  sample  copies  of  eight  thousand  newspapers,  the  Centennial 

Exhibition  in  the  Newspaper  Pavilion  at  Fairmount  Park,  Philadelphia,  attracts 

well-merited  attention.    It  is  substantially  a  reproduction  of  Geo.  P.  Kowell  &  Go's 

Advertising  Agency  in  the  city  of  New  York,  except  that  as  the  latter  has  been 

established  many  years,  and  conducted  upon  a  carefully-arranged  sj^stem,  it  is 

more  complete  in  its  arrangements  than  would  be  possible  to  make  such  an 

exhibition  elsewhere  in  a  lew  weeks  or  months.

Centennial  Newspaper  Exhibition. 


HISTORICAL  SOCIETIES  AND  PUBLIC  LIBRARIES. 


At  the  fulfil  closintr  of  tlio  Exhibition,  in  Xovembov,  it  Mill  be  compnratively  easy  to 
make  up  sets  of  same  copies,  to  be  distributed. among  in-oniinent  Historical  Societies  and 
rublic  Libraries.  A  single  copy  of  every  American  newspaper  Avill  make  a  packajie  weigh- 
ing nearly  half  a  ton,  and  the  collection'  by  correspondence  with  the  offici-s  Avonld  involve 
intennina*l)le  delays  and  many  hundred  dollars  of  expense.  The  postage  stamps  for  au 
application  would  cost  two  hundred  and  forty  dollars. 

;Mesj;rs.  Geo.  P.  ItowKi.i.  &  Co.  have  sni)plii'd  such  sets  in  two  or  three  iustauces,  and 
not  long  siucc  were  applied  to  for  one  for  the  Library  of  the  Vatican  at  Home. 


The  Minnesota  JTistoriml  Society, 
St.  Paul,  Feb.  17,  lc<7f). 
GkO.  p.  IlOWKLL: 

Mv  Dear  Sik— Your  proposed  collection  of 
American  journals  is  a  measin-e  that  I  feel 
liighly  gratified  you  have  undertaken,  as  no 
one  else  (in  my  "opinion";  could  do  it  so  well 
and  completely  as  you  will.  Having  beeu  a 
journalist  myself,  and  being  at  present  one  of 
thi'Centenni'al  ("oininissioners  from  tliis  State, 
T  had  resolved  to  attempt  a  coiiiplcte  collec- 
tion of  our  Minnesota  newspapers  for  the  Ex- 
jiosition;  but,  as  you  have  undertaken  it,  I 
shall  gladly  give  it  into  your  hands. 

It  will  be  a  department  of  the  great  Exhibi- 
tion far  more  valuable  and  instructive  than 
will  appear  at  fii'st  glance.  Journalism  ])lays 
so  important  a  part  now  in  our  national  life 
and  i)rogrcss,  that  to  omit  it  from  our  Amer- 
ican Exhiljition  would  he  a  defect  that  would 
be  noticeable.  European  visitors  must  be  wou- 
d(n-fully  struck  with  the  display  you  design 
making.  Indeed,  but  few  of  our  own  jieople, 
perhaps,  fully  and  completely  recognize  what 
an  estate  American  newspaperdom  has  be- 
come !    It  will  astonish  even  ourselves. 

Such  collections  as  you  will  make  have  a 
])ermanent  value.  This  society  is  in  posses- 
sion of  nearly  600  bound  volumes  of  Minnesota 
^ newspapers,  oeing  (]uite  complete  from  the  first 
issue  of  a  i)aper  in  Minnesota  in  !84!).  We 
have  also  sets  of  New  England  and  otlier  pa- 
pers reaching  from  16(5.5,  ahnost  uid^roken. 
down  to  the  present  time.  AVe  now  receiAC, 
and  csirefuUy  preserve  for  binding,  nearly  one 
hundred  papers.  For  historical  reference 
their  value  is  Incalculable.  *  *  * 
Yours  truly,

Mr.  Geo.  P.  Rowell  : 

Deau  Sir— There  can  be  no  doubt,  among 
persons  competent  to  judge,  of  the  usefulness 
of  such  au  exhibition  of  American  newspa- 
pers as  that  Avhich  you  ])ropose  to  make  at 
Philadelphia.  \\'e  shoidd  he  very  glad,  in- 
deed, to  have  the  collection  of  siiecimen 
copies  when  you  shall  be  making  a  final  dis- 
position of  your  files,  and  Avoidd  carefully  pre- 
serve them.  I  hope  you  will  meet  Avith  eveiy 
possible  encouragement  in  your  enterprise,  for 
a  complete  or  neai'ly  complete  display  would 
not  only  be  exceedingly  curious  and  interest- 
ing, but  would  be  very  "valuable  for  historical 
reference,  beside  being' an  ex;haustless  source 
of  information  about  newspapers  in  this  coun- 
try. *  *  *  X  K 

I  will  most  cheerfully  render  anv  aid  in  my 
power. 

Very  sincerely  yours.

Geo.  p.  liOWELL,  Esq.: 

Dear  Sir—  *  .i=  *  *  ]srot  a 
word  need  be  said  regarding  the  value  of  the 
public  press.  Ko  invc'stig.ntion  of  a  historical 
subject  can  i)e  successful  without  its  aid — all 
liistorical  society  libraiies  —  nay,  all  public 
libraries,  are  glad  to  secure  a  file  of  any  vil-

the  newspaper  press  is  so  marked  in  this

collection  of  specimen  copies,

AMERICAN 

Newspaper  Reporter 

AND  PRINTERS'  GAZETTE. 

PUBLISHED  WEEKLY. 

Has  a  considerable  subscription  list  among  printers.  Goes  weekly  to  more 
than  6,000  newspaper  offices.  Eeceives  a  magnificent  advertising  pat- 
ronage from  dealers  in  printing  materials. 

Contains  weekly  reports  of  the  estabhshment  of  new  newspapers  (now  aver- 
aging six  daily,  or  thirty-six  every  week).  Suspensions,  consohdations, 
enlargements,  and  improvements. 

Is  relied  upon  by  advertising  agencies  and  all  others  whose  business  interests 
require  them  to  keep  informed  upon  newspaper  changes. 

Advertisers  who  wish  to  make  proposals  to  pubhshers— ofleriug  some  book 
or  other  article  in  exchange  for  advertising— do  well  to  make  a  trial  of 
its  advertising  columns. 

Those  wishing  to  embark  in  journalism,  either  by  the  purchase  of  an  estab- 
lished paper,  or  the  selection  of  a  location,  will  come  in  direct  commu- 
nication, through  the  Reportek,  with  retiring  publishers  or  commun- 
ities eager  to  have  a  home  paper  in  their  midst. 

Puljhshers  retiring  from  active  business  find  no  medium  equal  to  the  Re- 
porter in  assisting  them  to  find  a  purchaser  for  their  offices  and 
printing  material. 

Every  printer  looks  to  it  for  advertisements  of  ^'  Bargains,"  and  not  a  copy 
is  sent  out  that  does  not  contain  something  choice  in  that  fine. 

Through  its  columns  manufacturers  of  new  machinery  for  printers  can  have 
a  full  descriptive  article  placed  in  every  newspaper  office  in  the  country 
at  a  reasonable  price. 

Offers  an  opportunity  to  the  general  advertiser  who  wishes  to  barter  goods 
for  advertising  space.  He  can  make  his  proposal  to  publishers  through 
its  columns.
